    Cooking

    One of the best ways to take your mind off of day-to-day life is to cook up a new recipe. Staying at home can mean that you have extra time to put together a quality meal. Cooking both a simple recipe or a complicated dinner can be a relaxing project to help pass the time. Trying a new type of cuisine or cooking method can also give you skills that will outlast the quarantine.

    Studies show that foods like salmon, dark chocolate, chamomile, and green tea can all help to reduce anxiety, so integrating these foods into your diet may also give you an extra dose of relaxation.

    Self-Care

    The idea of regularly practicing self-care has gained attention over recent years, and becomes even more important with the impact of the COVID-19 virus. There are numerous ways you can spend time tending to your needs to help ease the anxiety of the crisis. Taking a hot bath is a great way to physically relax your muscles with bath bombs and candles adding an extra touch.

    Meditation helps to clear your mind and reset at the beginning or end of your day. Things like detoxifying face masks and hair treatments can also be relaxing ways to take care of yourself during a stressful time.

    Exercise

    With gyms, hiking trails, and even beaches closed during the pandemic, it can be difficult to stay both active and safe. Exercising at home is a great way to release stress with there being plenty of at-home workouts you can try. Whether you have equipment or you’re just working with body weight, staying at home on quarantine doesn’t have to mean getting out of shape.

    The endorphins released through exercise can also help to set your mind at ease. Getting fresh air in a safe way is also an option, through going for a jog in your neighborhood while taking all the necessary precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
