During this unprecedented time of being confined to our homes for 21 days to combat the Covid-19 epidemic, it can be difficult to get into a healthy routine while indoors. This article will serve as a survival guide for students to maintain their health (and sanity!) during this critical time.
For ideas on how to stay healthy and happy during lockdown, read the tips below:
- Practice meditation, yoga, or journaling: Doing mindful activities can relax the mind and give it a break from all the chaos going on, keeping you calm and collected. They can also serve as an outlet for any emotions or stress you’re experiencing.
- Light exercise: We all want to keep fit, but if your goal is to keep a steady mind, try some light exercises. You can find low-stress exercises that you can do from home on YouTube or Google, or just make an exercise routine up! Stretching, jogging or walking in place or around your garden, or swimming if you’ve got a pool are all low-stress, calming exercises.
- Take up a calming hobby: Hobbies like painting, drawing, playing music, singing, knitting or gardening are all very relaxing- you get to learn a new skill or improve on old ones as well! Even working on your makeup skills or trying to solve a Rubiks cube or puzzle can be relaxing and productive.
