The rise of the pandemic in early 2020 hit everyone hard. From being forced to stay inside during lockdown, to millions of businesses and jobs at stake, the entire world has battled through a crisis that many of us have never had to experience. Understandably, being inside all day and unable to see friends and family has taken a toll on many people, and if you feel like your overall well being has dipped, you may be looking at how you can make positive changes in your life. Well, you’ve come to the right place! The idea of change in life can be daunting, but small changes can make the world of difference! Take a look at how these small changes could have a huge effect on your overall well being.
Take a social media break
Social media, especially at the moment, can be an extremely toxic place to be. With fake news and different opinions being shared here, there and everywhere, it can be difficult to differentiate what’s worth reading and the things you need to ignore. Give your mind time to heal by taking a break from social media. That doesn’t mean shutting off from the world completely, but simply allowing yourself time away from the millions of opinions and clickbait titles you see on social media every day.
Go vegan for one day a week
Eating well is essential at the moment, and many people are using this time in lockdown to improve their eating habits. However, the eating habits of the general public are extremely harmful to the environment, not to mention the additives that are in many food items. Choosing to go vegan for at least one day a week will give you an enormous sense of satisfaction, as well as doing your part to reduce your impact on the environment. You can read here about how No Evil Foods have taken the initiative to become a completely plastic-free company, and how you can do your bit to support the vegan community in creating a greener earth.
Utilise online video conferencing
Being away from your loved ones is difficult, but we’re lucky enough to live in an age where a total blackout from one and other is a thing of the past. There are hundreds of free choices you could use to chat to your friends and family such as FaceTime, What’s App, Teams, Zoom, or even Google Hangouts. Video your loved ones on a regular basis to keep your social levels, and your mental well being intact.
Do some home improvements
Finally, with all of this time on your hands that can’t be filled how you normally would, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a bit lackluster! Spend your free time making improvements to your home with a lick of paint here and there, or even an upcycling project to get your teeth into. Not only will it fill your time wisely, but it will help raise your well being and leave you with a fabulous looking home!
