What to do in quarantine at home

1. There should be no clutter in the house
It is scientifically proven that clutter makes us nervous and provokes stress. There is an interesting theory of broken windows. If the glass in the house is broken and not repaired, then soon all the windows will be broken and looting will begin. If you don't put the thing back in place, then over time there will be a lot of such things, and later - conflicts and stress.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to prepare housing for a long and comfortable stay.
2. Do not deny yourself the joys
Quarantine is not the best time for various restrictions. Quitting all habits is a test for the nervous system.
If you want to eat a chocolate bar, eat it. Accustomed to having a glass of wine or beer at dinner - great! Do you want to quit smoking? It is better to postpone for a quieter time. You can limit yourself later. Now, rest and enjoy.
3. Exercise is a must every day.
Man is a lazy creature. On the first day, we can run and do various chores around the house. And on the fifth - it will already be too lazy to get off the couch to eat.
Exercise restores muscle tone, improves mood, vitality and self-confidence. This is not about heavy strength exercises, but about exercises, gymnastics, light strength exercises.
4. Get enough sleep
Back in 2007, research at Harvard showed that sleep deprivation leads to increased irritability and irascibility.
Use quarantine as a great opportunity to get quality sleep. Watching TV shows or sitting on social networks until 5 in the morning and then getting up at 8 in the morning to cook for children is not the best choice.
5. Create a pleasant atmosphere
Have you noticed that it is always very calm and pleasant to be in good restaurants or shops? Restaurateurs and marketers know how to achieve this. In addition to order, such places smell good, relaxing music plays. Indoor colors and lighting are also important.
6. Do something with your own hands
Handmade is a fun and rewarding activity. You can make an interesting piece of furniture, soap or any kind of craft. Surely you have a lot of unrealized talents.
7. Plan and Dream
As the saying goes, if plans are not planned, then they will not be planned :). Use your free time to rethink your next steps and goals. Perhaps you already have a ready-made wish list, you just have to put everything in order.
