If you’re not sure what to do with yourself while social distancing, you’re not alone. Here are a few suggestions of things you can do during these interesting times.
Watch this year’s Academy Award winning movies. If those aren’t your cup of tea, perhaps it's time to re-watch some old favorites.
Work on those house projects you haven’t had the time for.
Organize your closet and say goodbye to clothes you don’t wear anymore.
Catch up on your reading list! If those seminar books that you’ve been saving all these years still don’t appeal, it might be time to let them go.
Play games! Blow the dust off those board games or break out that old video game console. Time to set a new high score on Tetris!
Play a musical instrument. If you have one laying around the house, why not give it another go?
Protect your mind (and your sanity!) by limiting your time on social media, reading news articles, or any other type of contact that could unnecessarily raise your anxiety levels.
Connect with loved ones! Send a text message or make a phone call to someone you care about.
Exercise! You can work out in the comfort of your own home. Some local gyms, like Gymnazo, are offering programs to help you keep up with your fitness while limiting contact with others.
Go outside! Take a walk (bonus points from your dog for this one!). Sit in the sun. Just because you’re supposed to keep distance between yourself and others doesn’t mean you can’t get some fresh air in the meantime.
Take a drive! With all this rain we’re getting, the wildflowers are blooming and it’s an especially beautiful time here in SLO County.
Learn something new. Google Digital Garage and other online learning sites like Khan Academy offer opportunities to learn new things.
Time to be your cleaner self! There’s never been a more important time to maintain a clean home and to regularly disinfect the hard surfaces and commonly touched places (remotes, light switches, counters, drawer pulls, etc.). If you could use some professional help with your carpet and/or upholstery, let us know as we offer contact-less cleaning appointments.
Keep it positive! There’s a lot of negativity in the world at the moment. A positive attitude can go a long way to keeping up your spirits and others!
