Hi loves! Here are some of my favorite things to do while social distancing. With everything going on, I feel like we need some kind of escape from this new reality. We all need to do our part to help flatten the curve. People are getting seriously sick; many people are losing their jobs and most businesses are shut down for the foreseeable future. Also, we need to help our healthcare professionals and thank them extremely for everything they’re doing. I’m so grateful and thankful for all the people that are still working during this time but stay home and do your part to help out with social distancing.
The power of social media is incredible! I’ve been able to take advantage of this time at home; I just bought a canon camera to officially start my YouTube channel. I’ve caved in and – got a Tik Tok – and honestly, it’s entertaining. You can learn dances, do things while at home, pay with your dog, makeup, etc. So, if you’re going a little stir-crazy hop on the bandwagon! I’m going to share my favorite things to do while social distancing and quarantining.
What To Do?
I have been stuck at home for 8 plus weeks due to having brain surgery and couldn’t leave my house. I had to relearn how to walk and use the right side of my body and had a pic line, so I was very susceptible to getting sick. FOMO was a REAL DEAL and the world was still continuing. I planned my day so I wouldn’t go insane. Now, this is a breeze for me. You can go outside and take a walk, you can workout at home, and the world isn’t going on. Everyone is stuck inside.
- Listen to a new Podcast (Call Her Daddy, Quarter Life Crisis – my faves)
- Binge watch a show you love (Gossip Girl – once again)
- Get into the Social Media crazes (Tik Tok, IG, YouTube)
- Workout (Set up a station that’s your workout zone)
- Get outside (tan in your yard, walk your dog, etc.)
- Clean/Reorganize your room
- Learn new makeup tricks and techniques
- Start your blog that you’ve been afraid too
- Learn how to cook or bake
Plan Your Day
Things to do while social distancing – this is at the TOP. Every night before I go to bed, I make a little list for the next day and stick to it. Don’t oversleep, stick to your list, don’t eat all the food! Ha-ha. Planning your day helps you stay moving and motivated and not just suck in your bed watching Tik Toks for hours.
- Wake Up and change by 8am no later than 9am
- Breakfast
- Laundry
- Blog Writing/Catch up on Podcasts
- Finish Blog Post and photos
- Finish Laundry – put clothes away
- Lunch
- Walk my dog
- CrossFit Liger – WOD
- Shower and try new Revlon Hot Air Hairbrush
Something as basic and simple as this just makes your day fulfilling and you don’t end up wasting your day away watching TV. Cabin Fever is a real thing and we just have to find a new way to stay mentally healthy and active.
Sadly, this new reality is here to stay for a bit. We have to just adjust ourselves to this new reality. Always look at the glass half full and be optimistic. Maybe, this time is allowing the world to reset from our pollution, but also ourselves. Reset yourself, connect with yourself, and take this time to see what you truly want. We were given this time to just pause and reset. Use it wisely and hopefully some of my favorite things to do while social distancing help pass the time. Hang in there loves.
XOXO
