Amazing Ways to Feel Good When You’re Locked Down in Your Home

With the global pandemic COVID-19 currently wreaking havoc everywhere, social distancing and self-quarantine have become two of the most common practices in most households, no matter where you might be in the world. Now, more than ever, it has become more important to stay at home.

 

For people who are not used to spending all their time indoors, it might only be a matter of time before they go crazy with having to be indoors all the time and suffering from a lack of interesting activities. 

 

If you’re finding yourself bored while quarantining, the following are some good suggestions on how to make yourself feel better while you’re locked down in your home.

 

Make your bed first thing in the morning. 

 

This simple three-minute task can give you a positive start to your day. Being organised from the get-go can make you feel better, according to experts that profess its direct correlation to better productivity and improved budget-making skills. 

 

Display items of sentimental value around your home.

 

Examples of such items can be gifts from family members and even photos of memorable trips with your loved ones. Turn your home into a gallery of positive and happy memories, where you only need to look around your home and you’d be reminded of such memories.

 

Run a warm, cozy bubble bath.

 

Nothing can soak away the tiredness and lethargy like a rejuvenating bubble bath. You can spend as long as you want in the bath, or until your fingers prune up. Afterwards, wrap yourself with luxury bathrobes in Australia to fully enjoy that spa-like feeling.

 

Start a gratitude journal.

 

Nothing brings about happiness like feelings of gratitude. Right before you go to bed, take a journal and write down the things you’re thankful for on that particular day. Reflect on the good things that happened as well as the not-so-good things. Keeping a daily gratitude journal will also benefit you in the future when you get older and your memory starts to fail you. Your journal will be a means to remind you of the happy and blessed life you led. 

 

Get in touch with your loved ones and friends.

 

Just because you’re physically distant from your loved ones doesn’t mean you should maintain the same gap emotionally. This is the time to call your relatives and friends who are also quarantining in their homes. Ask how they’re doing and take this time to catch up on each others’ lives. Getting in touch with the important people in your life will help you feel not so isolated from other people.

 

Be kind to your family members.

 

We all know the saying “Familiarity breeds contempt.” And this couldn’t be more applicable than when you’re quarantining with your family in your house 24-7. Sometimes the constant togetherness can make it all the easier for you and your family to lose your temper with each other. This is why all of you should make it a point to always be kind to each other no matter how annoyed you might feel. Also, always do little favours for each other.
