Quarantine life #1 These days, we are facing something unprecedented that compellingly influenced our lives. After coming back from NY on the 1st of April, I have been in quarantine at my home. And today I took myself outside after 4 days! I was so surprised how immediately my mood got positive once your skin got access to a dose of the sun’s rays!(although it was only 5mins..) Since I will continue self-quarantine for a further week, I start revising my daily routine. First, I decided to turn off my iPhone all-day to make the best use of my time because I noticed that I spent many hours on social media. Although I'm forcing myself to keep a distance from the device at the current state, I'm thinking to add some fun activities I can enjoy instead of my phone. (Any recommendation is welcome!) Second, I have got round to do mindfulness before and after sleep as I was struggling to keep my concentration. I started thinking of multiple things simultaneously and ended up everything in the middle. That is the reason why I started having mindfulness to train me to concentrate on one thing. The practice does not promise quick results so I'm still learning from it by trying to embrace some tiny changes on my body. Under the circumstance, it has given me a chance to communicate with my body differently from before. This is kind of interesting and helpful to reflect on myself and the daily habits I used to.

Quarantine life #1

These days, we are facing something unprecedented that is compellingly influencing our lives.

[it is not over yet it is still influencing us in a compelling way]

Today after fours days in quarantine, since my arrival back home from NY, I went outside. I was so surprised how immediately and positively my mood changed once my skin had access to a dose of the sun’s rays!(although it was only 5 minutes..)

I will continue to self-quarantine for a further week, and I have started revising my daily routine.

First, I decided to turn off my iPhone all-day to make the best use of my time because I noticed that I spent many hours on social media. Although I'm forcing myself to keep a distance from the device at the current time, I'm thinking to add some fun activities I can enjoy instead of my phone. (Any recommendation is welcome!)

Second, I have got around to do mindful activities before and after sleep as I was struggling to keep my concentration. I started thinking of multiple things simultaneously and ended up with everything in a muddle. I needed to train myself to concentrate on one thing at a time. The practice does not promise quick results, so I'm still learning from it, by trying to embrace some tiny changes in my daily routine, especially at the periods just before sleeping and on waking in the mornings.

Under the circumstance, it has given me a chance to communicate with my body differently than before. This is kind of interesting and helpful to reflect on myself and the daily habits I used to have.

For the last sentence, do or have is acceptable.

>Yuri I've just downloaded it! Imma try that from tonight! Having pains around my body now, I've started realizing my age physically. ....! But not to make the fact for an excuse to be lazy, I'm gonna start it to change my routine!

>Emma Thank you for your comment! I some books that I purchased before and they have been in my bookshelves for a long without being finished reading. I will try to read them and do yoga exercises! Thank you for your advice!

I would recommend using free exercise apps such as the Nike Training Club app or down dog app (currently it's free until 1 May as part of the stay-home movement). Set yourself to do it at least 15-30 mins a day and it will help you to refresh. You could also pick up new skills like drawing, etc. I recently bought an online illustration class from domestika website. Again, the classes are discounted to keep our stay-home moments fulfilling.
