With the world practising social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak, many UAE residents are wondering what they should be doing while staying home. The experts at CarSwitch.com, an online marketplace for used cars in Dubai, have compiled some tips to help you adopt better and healthy habits and be creative and productive!
1. Get some exercise
Staying home does not mean neglecting your physical activities. Hop onto youtube or other sites to browse for numerous workout tutorials. Set a 30 to 60-minute daily workout to boost your energy levels, bone and muscle health. Moreover, exercise can also help with sleep quality, relaxation and reduce stress.
2. Learn a new skill
One always has a list of things that they want to learn but never had time for. So, it is best to view this lockdown as an opportunity to start learning all those skills. It can be anything such as learning a new language, taking an online business course, learning how to cook, or even how to apply makeup. Once you start thinking about it, you will have many options to decide from. Moreover, this will not only keep you productive but also serve as a stress buster.
3. Stay connected with your loved ones
Social distancing and self-isolation may make you feel lonely. Reach out to your relatives and friends via social media to alleviate feelings of isolation. Due to the pandemic, there have been many platforms developed to combat these feelings.
For example, you can use Netflix Party to simultaneously watch movies with your friends or House Party for playing video games with up to eight friends. You can also use this time as an opportunity to reconnect with those people you didn’t have time for during your busy schedule.
4. Develop a self-care routine
One of the best self-care practices is meditation. You should take multiple 5-minute breaks throughout the day for some mindful meditation sessions which will help calm your nerves. You can find many great meditation guides online. Self-care is not only limited to meditation; you can also practice journaling, learn your favourite dance moves, or listen to a podcast.
5. Take care of your car
If it has been a while since you gave attention to your car, then now is the time to do so. Wash your car and also clean thoroughly from the inside. Be sure to apply wax afterwards. While you’re at it, be sure to also check the level of various oils and other fluids as well as the tire pressure. You should also run the engine once a week to make sure the battery of your car doesn’t get exhausted.
