21 Things To Do While Quarantined
Travel plans canceled! School canceled! Work canceled! What in the world is there to do. I’d be lying if I said I was 100% okay. I’m not. Seeing the numbers continue to rise and more and more people die has taken a real toll on me. Coronavirus has come and blew up the whole spot. The devastation it is causing is traumatic. I’m sure alot of us will be dealing with PTSD after all this is over. As it starts to hit closer and closer to home, I am reminded of the seriousness of this virus. Constantly we are reminded to stay at home and practice social distancing. I know that can be hard to do at times, but it’s our harsh reality and if we want to ever go back to life as we knew it, this is what we must do. Even introverts are ready to make appearances. But we gotta stay inside y’all! Soooo, let’s make the most of our quarantine. Here are 21 things you can do while quarantined:
Read A Book
Now is the time to pull out that new book you’ve been wanting to get to. You can even reread one of your faves. What a time to be alive because in this digital age you don’t need a physical copy. You can download Kindle or even Audible and dive in.
2. Netflix and Chill
Netflix has hundreds of titles that will suite anyone’s interest. With all this extra time on your hands dive into some of these titles. Grab a blanket, your favorite quarantine snacks, bae or no bae and get your Netflix on. Check out some of my faves here.
3. Create a Vision Board
2020 isn’t over and most of us can use a do over anyway. Now is the best time to create a vision board. You have time to focus on what you really want and also the time to plan out a startegy to get those things. Take advantage of this time and create a vision board.
4. Spring Cleaning
Depspite the circumstances, Spring is actually here. While in quarantine get some Spring cleaning done. Reorganize that closet. Get rid of things you no longer need. Disinfect, disinfect, disinfect!
5. Study the Bible
It’s a great time to grow closer to God. What better way to do that than to spend time with Him through His word? Reading Proverbs changed my life.
6. Journal
Journaling is one of my favorite things to do. It is also a form of self care. In this time of isolation take time to journal your thoughts and feelings. I also love to journal my prayers to God. Another Written Prayer Challenge from me is coming soon.
7. Play Board Games/ Cards
Stuck at home with the family? Make it fun by playing board games or cards. Some of my favorites are Connect Four, Phase 10, Candy Land and UNO.
8. Self Care
In normal life, how often could you proritize self care? Take this time and follow your favorite self care regimen.
9. Do your Nails
The beauty salons and nail shops are closed also. Take this time to give yourself an at home mani/pedi. One of the most therapeautic things in the world for me is to do my nails.
10. Virtual Happy Hour
Video call your girls, pour up a cocktail , and have virtual happy hour at home. I know you miss hanging with your girls, but you can still connect virtually.
11. Listen to Music/Podcast
Find the right playlist and get your groove on while in isolation. The soundtrack to your life is waiting on you and now is the time to get into it. Here’s a dope playlist to get you started. Also podcasts are life right now. Just like music there is a podcast that suites your life.
