3. Follow a Workout Routine: The idea of staying at home for some extended amount of time may sound daunting and a little frightening, particularly if you’re someone who loves getting fit and healthy and reaching the regular step count, or an elderly person who might be concerned about being alone.

Various online YouTube workout sessions and different applications are available on digital platforms to help you to stay fit.

4. Clean up the social media: Without a doubt, the amount of time we’re going to spend on our phones during this time will be a hell of a lot more than we’re used to. Be sure all the feeds you swipe through are full of inspiration and positivity. Follow the list of those who inspire you and unfollow those that don’t make you feel good. Fill your timeline up with humour, inspiration and affection. Make sure that while you spend time on socials, what you consume is worth your time.

5. Write a Journal: Whatever the condition of self-isolation, writing for just 10 minutes a day will stimulate both younger and older minds. It will even emotionally help you to clear your mind and relieve tension. Take a pen and a lovely writing pad and write freely, without concern of punctuation, spelling or sentences mistakes. Express your thoughts and desires on your writing pad.
