Your home is your sanctuary in these unprecedented times. With a huge spike in the reported cases, the best bet to stay safe and protected is to stay indoors. So, how do you make this haven all the better? Read these tips to know more.
To start with, make sure your home is safe from the virus. It means going out only when necessary and after you return, wash your hands and feet well before you touch anything in the house. Special attention should be made while cleaning the common areas of your home like your doorbell, your main door handle, etc. If you receive any delivery, first remove any outside package outside the home while wearing gloves and mask; then spray disinfectant over them before bringing them in.
Along with your physical health, your mental health is also particularly important during this problematic time. So, make your home as peaceful as possible. Use incense and other aromatherapy products to relax and make your home smell great. With such a long stay at home, it is very normal you will get bored soon. So, to fight it take up some home improvement projects that you always wanted to do. Just rearranging your furniture can make your home look different, and there are so many home improvements crafts you can do that cost next to nothing. If you have children, involve them in it. One such project can be going through your old albums and finding those lost gems. Hang up some of them in a string with a clothespin; if you have fairy lights, you can use that too.
Getting your diet right is also especially important as many people are just sitting in a home since going to gyms is not an option. Hence it is important to cut down on fatty foods and junk food to minimize extra calorie intake (of course you can have some cheat days). Go for foods that help in immunity building because staying healthy is another great way you can fight this pandemic. Food that is rich in antioxidants like garlic, spinach, amla, guava should be included in your menu. Along with that, you need to hydrate yourself well to flush out toxins from your system. Exercising is also important especially if you are working from home and sitting in one place for a long time. Take a break from time to time to stretch your legs and back. Yoga is a great way to combat the ills of staying at home; it will not only benefit your body but also your mind.
Many of us, especially young working people, have to do household work that usually was done by our helping hands. So, to make your life easier invest in gadgets and tools that will make your job so much easier! For example, buy a spin mop that will make cleaning your home easier. If you are cooking, invest in a rice cooker if you are not good at making rice! Similarly, use this time to decorate your home to make it cozier. Buy new curtains and see how the house looks brighter and beautiful. Buy motivational posters or pictures and hang them up to fight the boredom that this long lockdown has generated.
Simple tips like these can work wonders to kill your boredom during the quarantine.
