Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people around the world are in quarantine or so-called self-isolation. Many go crazy with boredom. Try to get the most out of your forced self-isolation. Now is the time to "invest" in yourself.
Culinary masterpieces
In conditions of self-isolation, catering switched to free food delivery. It is tempting to order rolls, pizza and burgers every day. So many did, living in eternal time trouble. Change your habits. Self-isolation is a great opportunity to learn how to cook dishes for which there was always not enough time and energy. Treat yourself and your loved ones with a Spanish omelet, real Ukrainian borscht, or swing at fish under a salt shell. Perhaps, after completing self-isolation, they will become your signature dishes, and the story of when you learned how to make them will become a family legend.
Physical activity
It has been proven that sports improve not only health, but also mood. Self-isolation should not turn into sick leave. Don't stay in bed for a long time. Even if there is no opportunity to go outside, a simple warm-up can be done in a room in front of an open window or on a balcony. Physical activity helps to train the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, increase endurance, produce hormones of happiness and pleasure, and tune in to an optimistic mood.
For more effective training, find video tutorials from famous trainers on the Internet. If you wish, you can even master exotic yoga poses.
Soul food
Numerous talk shows, YouTube videos and TV series often leave behind a feeling of emptiness and regret about wasted time. Even if on self-isolation you have already watched all the masterpieces of world cinema, you have the opportunity to invest in yourself.
During the quarantine period, the most famous cultural sites in the world launched their activities on the Internet. For example, theaters organize free broadcasts of their performances, museums conduct virtual tours. You have a unique opportunity to see performances of the Vienna Opera, the Metropolitan and the Bolshoi Theater, where in everyday life it is impossible to get there. During a virtual tour, you can thoroughly see the masterpieces of the Louvre, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Hermitage, the British Museum, the Uffizi Gallery, etc. To do this, you just need to go to the official websites of theaters and museums.
Leading publishers also did not stand aside and made free access to millions of books, magazines and newspapers. Renowned universities are posting videos of lectures on a wide variety of subjects. Perhaps, in the future, new knowledge in life will be useful to you. In the end, they can show off in conversation with friends.
Of course, I want to see all this with my own eyes. But think about how much time and money it will take. Self-isolation will allow you to tour the world for free.
