Things to do during lock-down

Hi loves! We are in day 2 of the lock-down, i hope you loves are good and staying at home as the president ordered. We all need to be on board so that we can combat the spread of this vicious Corona-virus. I want to emphasis on the importance of staying at home for your own safety and those around you. The more we obey the rules of the lock down, the sooner we can all go back to our normal day to day lives. So i urge you all to stay at home and take necessary precautions to prevent yourselves and those around you from getting the virus.

I know staying at home can be a bore for many ( some of us just learnt that our lifestyle has a name. Quarantine. lol) but i am going to share a few things to do during the lock down.

1. Play games - this is our favorite thing to do as a family. We have games like putting together puzzles, karaoke , tower and yes X-BOX. There are other games on google play that you can download for yourself or family as well.

2. Movie/Series marathon- this is definitely one of my favorite things to do and something i will be doing during the lock down, watching movies and series all day everyday.

3. cleaning the house - Yet again one of my favorite things to do. Cleaning the house (for me) is not just therapeutic but it is essential during this pandemic. Always ensure that you clean surfaces with detergents (personal preference being detol).

4. Meditate - This is such a chaotic time and anxiety levels are high therefore it is important that we take time to disconnect from all the energies and connect with God and ourselves.

5. Take time to reflect - look at your life! have you achieved any of the goals you have set for yourself for this year or last year. Think about the person you want to become or life you want to live then make necessary adjustments. This is the time to plan and reflect on one's life.

6.Self-care - I know we are at home 24/7 and it is easy to forget to care for yourself but put on a mask, wash your hair and do your self-care routine.

7. Find new artist on soundcloud - yet again this is one of my favorite things to do, finding new South African artists on soundcloud this does not only give me an opportunity to find new music but i am also supporting new and upcoming artist which is something i am passionate about hence my podcast, Doing the damnz podcast, which is about creating safe space for young people to engage in thought provoking conversations and promoting and empowering artists and creatives.

8. Gratitude list - "Gratitude turns out what we have into enough"_ Melody Beattie

9. Exercise - honey you don't have to wait for winter anymore to create your "summer body" get into it now!

10. Start a challenge - challenge yourself into doing something you've always wanted to do and tell people, like your family so that they can hold you accountable. I challenged myself into blogging for 21 days and boy oh boy oh boy! around 13:h00 i know i should busy writing so i can publish at 17:h00.

One bonus tip for those of you who love being in the kitchen, this is the perfect time to learn new cooking recipes. and oh invite me to come and taste *winkwink
