"Learning remotely" does not mean wearing your pajamas all day, slacking off, or working from the couch. This will result in an unfulfilling, unproductive day. Try to keep your regular routine as much as possible, including eating breakfast and getting dressed as usual. Create a dedicated work space, that will allow you to separate school work and leisure time (like you would during a normal weekday).
You can still exercise! While gyms are closed and we are encouraged to stay at home, you can go for a walk or run outdoors on your own. YouTube provides FREE workouts to complete at home in small spaces.
Eat well! While it is easy to binge on junk and snack foods, it is important to eat food that makes you feel good about the decisions you're making for your body.
Limit your time on social media and watching the news. Remember that news stations focus on the NEGATIVE, not the POSITIVE. Focus on the facts. Keep in mind that these steps are being taken as PREVENTATIVE action. Constantly hearing these stories can be upsetting and anxiety-provoking.
Connect with others. Make time to communicate with family members that you usually do not have the time to have important conversations with. FaceTime and talk with friends on the phone.
Ways to entertain yourself, that DO NOT involve your cell-phone:
Cook or bake a new recipe
Deep clean and organize your room or specific areas of your house
Complete small home repairs
Listen to a new podcast
Binge on new shows and movies
Complete a puzzle
Play traditional board or card games
Read books
Do crafts.
*Remember: Conversations, relationships, laughing, kindness, and gratitude have NOT been cancelled.
