Self-isolation is when you have been instructed to separate yourself from others, by now we all know that self isolation and social distancing is necessary to control the spread of Covid-19. Self Isolation is not a punishment in fact it’s a chance for everyone to meet you, to discover who you are, and to learn about your inner self.
It’s normal to feel anxious, frustrated or bored during this time of self isolation. We could do a lot of things and activities to make our self isolation interesting and memorable.
Let’s discuss how you can make self isolation and social distancing a relaxing period of your life.
Plan your day
The very first thing you must do to spend good time during quarantine or self isolation is to plan your day. Set a rough time table in your mind and spend your time accordingly. Try to divide your time equally in all activities instead of sticking on one thing only.

You can ask your friends to set their time table and then you can do things together at the same time. This would be fun and a chance to get in touch with your friends. Do everything you ever wished to do at your home during this time of self isolation.
Music and Dancing
Music is food for the soul.They are always helpful to change someone’s mind and mood. So this is the time when you can set your favourite playlist and listen to the music without any worry or break. People can enjoy dance moves of your choice on your favourite songs.

You can even learn about music and dancing through a number of videos available on YouTube. You can sing songs and record them, or share them online in your family and friends circle to entertain them.
Yoga Practice
It’s a time of stress and anxiety for almost everyone who’s stuck in their homes. We all know that a healthy body has a healthy mind so it’s very important to keep our body relaxed and fit during self isolation. Yoga or any light exercises that you can do at your home is the best way to spend your time in a healthy way.

If you are a yoga person then you can even help others by sending them your daily yoga practice as a yoga class for them.
Art and Craft
Playing with colors is always fun. This self isolation is the golden chance to find your inner artist. You can draw sketches and draw interesting pictures. You can learn more about art and other artists.

It’s time for recycling things or using your old material to make an attractive art piece for yourself or your close ones. You can paint your window glass or your study table, you can use broken jars or jewellery to make something useful.
Online Community
Online community is the only hope that you have during social distancing. Text your close ones daily, try to stay in touch with everyone you know. Play online games with your friends. Start a new game together to get some interest.

You can even find people from your block list to whom you want to say something. You can contact your old friends and exchange your experiences of self isolation with them.
