7 Things to do during Lock Down

The COVID-19 outbreak has forced many of us to sit tight at home, a strategy in order to slow down the spread of the corona virus.
Keep Learning
Tonnes of online courses are only at a mouse-click distance readily available no matter what our interest is. Being isolated at home is a good opportunity to catch up with information on problems we can do something about once the lockdown is over.
Declutter and Donate
Being stuck at home gives us the necessary time and motivation to take a careful look around our belongings. Starting with the most sensitive area – clothes, and repeating the exercise with other things like books, garments, decorations, toys, etc. we can take the time to identify things we rarely (or not at all) use and clean up some space. Maybe there are also things we believe will be more appreciated by others and we can live without. Sort them out and prepare them for donation – there are people who would be happy to have them for sure. Living with only the things we really need instead of piling up items, collecting dust, is not such a bad idea.
Unleash creativity – get a new hobby
Have you ever thought about starting a blog and sharing your experience and insights or starting a discussion about a topic you feel passionate about? What about writing a fictional story inspired by your own life? Drawing and experimenting with different mediums?
There are many forms of expression we can try and we never know what might appeal to us and turn into a relaxing new pastime to get our mind off stress and pressure. Maybe solving puzzles is your thing. Or knitting. Why not testing out Photoshop to create funny (or inspirational) edits with pictures of friends and family? It is time to let our creativity go wild.
Family time
Some of us are more fortunate than others and have the luck of being at home with their families. Thankfully, even if we are not physically together with them we still have the option to connect with loved ones via the Internet.
Whether or not we are in the same space, the time we spend stuck at home is a great opportunity to catch up with family members and get some closure.
Talking about our routines, development at work/school, new hobbies and interests, or future goals are one way to do it. There are many games and activities for family members to have fun and reconnect at the same time. It is even possible to recreate a movie night over the Internet with the many screen-sharing software – get the family members in a video chat on your phone and share your computer screen to enjoy and discuss a movie together regardless of the distance between you.
Reflect and redefine
Having time for ourselves is a prerequisite to sessions of self-reflection and redefining goals. We can use the pause on all the things usually occupying our minds to reassess the direction we are going and evaluate if we are on the right track or need a drastic (or mild) change. Is our current lifestyle making us happy or are we missing something and not living up to the full potential of life and our desires?
It is also a great opportunity to reflect on our personalities and identify personal strengths and weaknesses to work with.
Time to learn to cook (and maybe start a small garden)
Well, now the golden opportunity of learning how to cook and spoiling ourselves with a homemade dish has finally presented itself. Cooking can be lots of fun and allows us to choose our own ingredients and menu based on our taste (and diet). It is way healthier and usually more cost-efficient than takeaway so why not give it a shot?
Having some time on our hands is also an opportunity for another step towards a healthier lifestyle – starting a small garden at home. We don’t need a whole yard to do it; a small balcony can also do the trick. Growing organic vegetables is a highly rewarding activity which also gives us tasty products for our cooking.
Practice singing or dance moves
Performing in front of other people tends to be one of the most stressful and anxious things for many people. If you are one of the people who wholeheartedly enjoy singing or dancing but are too shy to do it in front of others and join your friends in the karaoke or on the dance floor you can use the time at home to build-up confidence and practice those skills.
In times like this, it is important to remember what is happening is nothing more than another one of the many crises humanity is facing. It is a radical reminder that our society needs to put unity, cooperation, crisis management, empathy, and compassion above anything else and solve the issues as quickly as possible.
