So, since I am self quarantining and am not going to work until April 2nd, I thought it would be fun to write an artikulo of stuff I am doing or would recommend others to do during this time. Obvious statement is obvious, but...no matter what you do don't risk your health for any of this! It's just for fun. So let's get started then!
Take a Bubble Bath 🛀 OR paliguan 🚿
For me, relaxing with a warm bath or taking a nice long paliguan is both physically and mentally helpful during this time. First of all you get clean! Secondly, it's (usually) relaxing. If you can, find some menthol whether in soap or bubble bath to pour in to clear out your sinuses also if you're sick or if you just like the smell like I do.
Play The Sims 4 💚
If you have a PC or Mac, right now link is having a sale on many packs. Most stuff packs not included. But the base game is $5! Yep, that's right. It is $5!!! The sale will be going on until March 23, so get it while you can! Although I must warn you, you will be addicted after so buyer beware 😉
Color 🎨
If you've got anxiety or depression over your job or health or of the health of your loved ones, it helps to just color. Trust me. Whether you color in coloring books or on a tablet or phone, it is worth it. There are many free apps to download with many unique pictures to color. It is low stress and the outcome is great. I use Paint sa pamamagitan ng Number & Tap Color daily, and all of their pictures are free. If you'd like to step up your "gaming" a little, there is another amazing app called 'Gallery the game' that is a coloring/decorating rolled into one.

Take a Nap! 😴
Really, I mean if I have to sell you on the benefits of taking a nap then I'm sorry to say you have been living your life ALL wrong and maybe you should rethink your strategy...
Start a Journal ✍️
I can't physically write because I have arthritis and gripping a pen for too long is painful. But I have recently started up a blog I made years nakaraan and adding to it. I deleted all old posts and started over. Nobody's pagbaba it, but I don't need them to. It's for ME. Do something for YOU. Talk about your pets, your fashion style, the area you live in. It can be very therapeutic to just get something off your chest, whatever it may be. You can find many sites that are free for blogs. I use Blogspot.
Bake Something Sweet 🧁
Most of the time, people tend to have ingredients for a cake mix or cookies so that's why I suggested this. Luckily because of the fact that I have a sweet tooth that is unmatched, I am always prepared for this. I have stuff to make cupcakes, brownies, and cookies and I'll be taking advantage of that a lot in the coming days.
Make Some Time for YOU!! 👍
This is perhaps the most important thing on the list, because if you don't take care of yourself how can you expect to take care of anyone/anything else? If you have young children or family or mga kaibigan at tahanan with you, just set aside a couple hours just for you. Don't go on social media, maybe don't even watch TV. I like to lay in kama and listen to classical or soft jazz, color on my iPad or continue pagbaba one of many books on my to be read list. If your tahanan is a loud and chaotic one, consider using earplugs if you have them or putting something over your ears.
