When situations unexpectedly change, it can have a big impact on one’s mental and physical health.
Although it may seem silly to prioritize happiness during a crisis, we will still experience positive moments in our day-to-day lives.
By maintaining some level of happiness right now, we may be better able to draw the energy to combat this pandemic.
Take care of yourself by doing these suggestions below to help you stay happy and healthy from home.
Exercise
Because of the lockdown, the general daily activity tends to be reduced, and many people get out of the routine of exercising.
However, exercise should always be incorporated into your daily routine as it keeps your body healthy, which will help it to fight off illnesses.
Exercise does wonders to your mental health, too.
Connect
Close relationships are one of the strongest predictors of happiness.
Lockdown shouldn’t stop you to connect to your loved ones.
Spend more and more time at home, finding opportunities to connect with friends, family, and loved ones.
Get creative in finding opportunities to connect.
Play a card game with your partner.
Chat with a friend or family member on the phone.
Hold a virtual happy hour with a group of friends.
Send messages and photos to loved ones.
Talk to your neighbors from a distance, of course. 🙂
Clean Up
Take this opportunity to clean your house.
Should you find yourself working from home, a quick tidy up might help you to get your jobs done.
Clutter makes us harder to focus on tasks.
A messy bedroom has been linked with difficulty in sleeping and a messy kitchen makes poor health choices like reaching for junk foods.
Remember not everything online is true.
There is lots of news out there but not all of the information you come across is true.
Keep to official news sources and find out the most up to date information about what’s happening.
Remember that it’s fine to not check the news or scroll through endless updates each day.
Take some time to relax and put your phone down for a while.
