Coronavirus: 50 Fun Things to Do at Home
We all know the current situation so it’s probably unnecessary to make any long comments. Since most of us have to stay (or should stay) home, I prepared a list of activities which you can do from the comfort of your home. Negativity will not help anyone. Everything gets better with positive thinking.
1) Rest – It’s finally that time when you do not have to chase anything so take a while and sit down and just enjoy it. You deserve to rest for a change!
2) Spend time with your kids – You finally have more time for them. If you do not have any, dedicate this time to yourself or the ones who need you.
3) Exercise – You do not have to have a gym in your house to work out. Many exercises do not require any tools at all. And for weights you can use bottles of water for example.
4) Get some sleep – Sleep is very important and brings a lot of benefits (I recommend book ‘Why we sleep’). Now you have the chance to stick to sleep schedule so take advantage of it.
