So, since I am self quarantining and am not going to work until April 2nd, I thought it would be fun to write an θ¨δΊ of stuff I am doing γΎγγ― would recommend others to do during this time. Obvious statement is obvious, but...no matter what γγͺγ do don't risk your health for any of this! It's just for fun. So let's get started then!
Take a Bubble Bath π γΎγγ― γ·γ£γ―γΌ πΏ
For me, relaxing with a warm bath γΎγγ― taking a nice long γ·γ£γ―γΌ is both physically and mentally helpful during this time. First of all γγͺγ get clean! Secondly, it's (usually) relaxing. If γγͺγ can, find some menthol whether in soap γΎγγ― bubble bath to pour in to clear out your sinuses also if you're sick γΎγγ― if γγͺγ just like the smell like I do.
Play The Sims 4 π
If γγͺγ have a PC γΎγγ― Mac, right now link is having a sale on many packs. Most stuff packs not included. But the base game is $5! Yep, that's right. It is $5!!! The sale will be going on until March 23, so get it while γγͺγ can! Although I must warn you, γγͺγ will be addicted after so buyer beware π
Color π¨
If you've got anxiety γΎγγ― depression over your job γΎγγ― health γΎγγ― of the health of your loved ones, it helps to just color. Trust me. Whether γγͺγ color in coloring ζ¬ γΎγγ― on a tablet γΎγγ― phone, it is worth it. There are many free apps to download with many unique pictures to color. It is low stress and the outcome is great. I use Paint γ«γγ£γ¦ Number & Tap Color daily, and all of their pictures are free. If you'd like to step up your "gaming" a little, there is another amazing app called 'Gallery the game' that is a coloring/decorating rolled into one.

Take a Nap! π΄
Really, I mean if I have to sell γγͺγ on the benefits of taking a nap then I'm sorry to say γγͺγ have been living your life ALL wrong and maybe γγͺγ should rethink your strategy...
Start a Journal βοΈ
I can't physically write because I have arthritis and gripping a pen for too long is painful. But I have recently started up a blog I made years ε and adding to it. I deleted all old posts and started over. Nobody's θͺζΈ it, but I don't need them to. It's for ME. Do something for YOU. Talk about your pets, your fashion style, the area γγͺγ live in. It can be very therapeutic to just get something off your chest, whatever it may be. γγͺγ can find many sites that are free for blogs. I use Blogspot.
Bake Something Sweet π§
Most of the time, people tend to have ingredients for a cake mix γΎγγ― γ―γγγΌ so that's why I suggested this. Luckily because of the fact that I have a sweet tooth that is unmatched, I am always prepared for this. I have stuff to make cupcakes, brownies, and γ―γγγΌ and I'll be taking advantage of that a lot in the coming days.
Make Some Time for YOU!! π
This is perhaps the most important thing on the list, because if γγͺγ don't take care of yourself how can γγͺγ expect to take care of anyone/anything else? If γγͺγ have young children γΎγγ― family γΎγγ― γγ¬γ³γΊ at γγΌγ with you, just set aside a couple hours just for you. Don't go on social media, maybe don't even watch TV. I like to lay in γγγ and listen to classical γΎγγ― soft jazz, color on my iPad γΎγγ― continue θͺζΈ one of many ζ¬ on my to be read list. If your γγΌγ is a loud and chaotic one, consider using earplugs if γγͺγ have them γΎγγ― putting something over your ears.
