My Advice For Quarantine

Well, I haven’t had a lot of contact with other people due to me staying away from social media more, but I do have some very good advice in my opinion that has been very beneficial to me. Now first, it really depends on the person. If you're someone who hates staying home, a true extrovert who suffers as they're forced to stay at home during quarantine, you can still try this. But if you're someone who doesn't enjoy their normal day activities such as work or school, and hopes for the moment they step through their front door, then this is for you. With the ability to have so much free time on your hands, my best advice is to start something new you have always wanted to try. Now I know that's probably a very known idea that you may have been told but when I thought about how quarantine can help, it gave me more incentive to try. So I had always wanted to pick up guitar like my brothers. But the thing was, I was always packed from school, sports or other responsibilities that when I did try to, I would forget the next day to even pick it up again. But the thing about quarantine is you don't have those stresses any more. You can create habits out of the things you want to try by picking them up every day for even 15 minutes. Now it's good to keep the item or the ability to do the task near you, so that you can see it a lot throughout the day. When you remember to do it for the first few days, it just becomes instinct or even a habit that the minute you feel bored, you will do the thing you are trying to get good at. Now I know people could argue that you could just do this even when you're not in quarantine. Yes you could, but for some, the stresses their day puts on them will be an incentive to do something comfortable, and relaxing to relieve the stress of their day. But when you try to introduce something you're not good at, it of course gets stressful when you have those moments of realization that you aren't good. And when you have those moments added onto the stress of your day, in my experience, it amplifies the stress making you stop that task. So with quarantine, some people have less stress because they're stuck at home and need things to do. So if you do like staying at home, and want to pick up something you've always wanted to learn or do, then just try this.
