50 Things To Do While Social Distancing
Being a natural introvert might very well mean that I'm already really good at practicing social distancing. I was flipping through my journal the other day and came across a list I had made of things to do on weekends that don't involve spending lots of money and I realized that with a few adjustments, the list actually works really well for times like these where we're all encouraged to stay home.
While I'm doing relatively okay with this time at home, I've had a few conversations with friends and family and have come to realize that not all of us are in the best situations. Maybe you're on your own, away from loved ones. Maybe you have more of an extroverted personality and this time spent away from others is driving you a little crazy. The point is, I'd really love to help in any way I can and one way I know how is to spread positivity and remind you that you're not alone. As someone who has family members with lower immune systems who would really suffer if they were to get sick, it's incredibly important to me and I ask you desperately, please do what you can and stay home. We're all learning how to adjust in this crazy time and while I know it can be uncomfortable and less than ideal, there's no better time than now to take a moment to reflect, get creative, reprioritize and just slow down.
Here are just a few ideas for things you can do right now to help pass the time and keep you from being too bored. #Flattenthecurve.
