How to Make the Most of Your Time Off and Social Distancing

If you’re reading this article at the time that it was published, you’re probably sitting in your home in isolation practicing social distancing – or whatever ridiculous term they want to call it. Your current joy is telling everyone your cool activities for the day. Like going to the living room to read a book, later in the day venturing out to the back patio for some fresh air because you’re feeling rebellious. So, what do you do in times like these where the Coronavirus has caused many businesses to close and you’re supposed to figure out how to make the most of your time off? I have a few ideas that will help you come out of this self-quarantine (AKA, come close to me and I’ll be forced to throat-punch you) a better person.

 

Use At-Home Workouts from Online

With the inability to go to work, go shopping, and go to social events, what are you supposed to do with your time off? How about fit in an at-home workout? I mean, what excuse do you have to not work out now that you’re stuck in your home?

There are so many amazing ball-busting free at-home workouts that you can find online via YouTube or a simple Google search that you’ll have plenty of workouts to try during your time off. The great thing about at-home workouts is that you don’t necessarily need any fancy equipment – you can simply use your own bodyweight or items found around your home for added resistance.

There’s no better time than right now to work on changing your habits and lifestyle. Nothing is really holding you back right now because many of our obligations have been put on hold for the time being.

I’m not saying in the two weeks that you are at home you’re entire life is going to change, you’ll go back to work rocking a sick set of abs and jacked physique, but at least you’re putting one foot in front of the other to improve your health and life.

Learn Something New with a Book or Audiobook

What better way to use your time off than to learn something new? This can be something regarding your health, fitness, or nutrition. Or if you are looking to move up the corporate ladder or grow your business, learn a new skill or perfect your craft by reading a book or listening to an audiobook.

You could buy a book online, read a book you have laying around, download an e-book, or use resources like the Hoopla or Libby apps to read books free online from your local libraries. Want to kill two birds with one stone? Do an at-home workout like what was mentioned above and put on an audiobook (or even a podcast) to listen to in the background while exercising.

In addition, consider looking for courses or webinars that are of interest to you online and something you want to learn during your time off.
