If you love home improvement and are not so into detailed painting or drawing, then consider a craft such as candle making, ceramics, photography, interior decorating or abstract art! These are the best ways to tap into your creative side and allow you to build your skill level along the way. RUNNING: Exercise is vital now that we have spent so much time at home over the last year. Getting outside for a run or walk can make vast improvements to both physical and mental health! Running is known to improve cardiovascular health as well as muscle and bone strength. The same can be said for walking! Walking is a form of exercise that has many of the same benefits as running but is much easier on your joints and is not as intense. Even if running or walking is not possible, spending time
outdoors every day is so good for reducing anxiety and promoting self-esteem! COCKTAIL MAKING: Brushing up on some cocktail making skills will come in very handy for when we can return to hosting parties! Try spicing up your evenings with a different cocktail every week. YOGA: Yoga is another form of physical movement that is great for our mind, bodies, and souls. It is great for increasing flexibility, toning muscles, balancing metabolism and improves athletic performance in other
areas. Yoga is perfect for beginners and can be done at home! ONLINE BOOK CLUB: If reading is something you love and have taken back up since spending more time at home; try setting up an online book club! This can be done with your friends over zoom or you can even join one such as The Guardian’s reading group to get talking to some like-minded people!
