10 Activity Ideas While You're Staying Home

We all need a minute to breathe and take in how quickly our daily lives just changed. With all of us social distancing for our own safety and the safety of the public I figured I would share a list of activities, you can do to pass time at home.

1. Handwritten Notes: If you know me at all you know I love handwritten notes. They are a breath of fresh air anytime and especially right now. Write your friends, loved ones or clients a note of encouragement and love.

2. Vision Board: There's no better time to take time to reflect on what you want your life to look and feel like. Get to cutting those old magazines up and create a vision board to look at every day.

3. Workout: Move your body 30 mins every day in some sort of way. This helps fight depression and anxiety. There are lots of platforms that offer a free month free (I personally use the Peloton App). A lot of local gyms and studios are offering streaming workouts as well which is a great option to support a small business.

4. Virtual Dates: Now's the time to use the amazing technology we have. Have a coffee date, cocktail hour or meal with friends and family. Platforms I love for this are Facetime (they must have an iPhone), Zoom, Skype, Google Hangout. I did this the other day for a cocktail hour and had the best time. It's so nice to feel connected even if it's not physically.

5. Baking/Cooking: Practice makes perfect. You're eating at home so why not make it fun. I've got a couple of favorite food bloggers to provide inspiration. Sweetpea Lifestyle has so many great ideas for easy recipes and even is showing you how to have a virtual supper club!

A Spicy Perspective has the most amazing collection of recipes on her website and you can easily search them by ingredient or by meal

6. Learning: I know some of you are having to homeschool while juggling everything else, but for those of you who have the time it can be a really fun time to learn something new you've been interested in. Teachable and
