As everything is closed and/or postponed, everyone needs to self-quarantine. Although you have to be stuck inside, it doesn't mean you have to be completely bored. While I know you might be going a little stir crazy, it's time to start moving around again. Here's a list of 10 things to kick that quarantine boredom.
Try Yoga

Starting your day off with yoga can be beneficial in many ways. It acts as a natural destresser, increases strength, and relieves anxiety.
Learn To Bake Bread

Now, you have the time to learn what those words mean. Take this opportunity to learn a new skill, or perfect one you already have.
Go For A Run

Have A Virtual Game Night

Learn TikTok Dances

Start A Garden

Many plants just need sunlight, water, and some attention. Others, like succulents, just need to water but they brighten up any room.
Hit The Beach

Start Spring Cleaning

Take this time to clear them out and make room for the large amounts of clothing we all just bought. Don't just stop at the closet, clean anything else you think could use a little tidying up.
DIY Projects

Tie-Dye
