50 Things to do in self-isolation

Some may look to the current situation as a miserable time and others see it as an opportunity to do and try different things. And to be honest I guess most of us go through these two phases alternatively and this is okay. So here are a couple of things I do to fill my time.

7. Try meditation in the way that suits you

These are most of the things I do and others were recommended. Try to find anything new or preferred to do.  Any little thing can help us overcome these overwhelming days. And it is okay that some days you will feel that you are just tired and don’t want to do anything at all, but always try to get out of that state as soon as you can mentally and physically. Be safe and sane.
