Coronavirus is forcing many of us to stay indoors. Our busy life schedule has stopped, causing general puzzlement and concern.
As people around the world are now asked to give up their routine between office, the gym, a walk in the park, a nice glass of wine with friends, or a fun night out, home isolation can be seen as boredom and often a source of stress.
But with a little bit of imagination, there are so many options to entertain your self at home.
Since the beginning of the emergency, many of us have somehow engaged in hobbies, personal interests, and activities which we perhaps use to neglegt in our previous life routine. Of course some have the chance to work from home, but others have now more time than usual to dedicate to cooking, gardening, organizing home, reading or watching movies. (By the way, it is not by coincidence that Netflix has grown its subscribers number by 16 million since the beginning of the year.)
Many people in isolation have made a point to themselves about keeping healthy and fit, and are doing regular exercise or yoga.
For the not-so-sportive type, the ideas are many: from organizing, selecting and, why not, printing the tons of photos stored in our phones (trust me, this is a task which can take days!), to
taking advantage of this free time for self-improvement: the web is there, offering uncounatble possibilities of online courses. Have you ever dreamt of learning a new language, and could never find the time to even start, or would you like to become more fluent in what you already know? Now you can, this is the perfect time to do it.
Other suggestion for a good use of your time at home is exploring the numerous virtual art galleries, international museums, and theatres directly from the comfort of your sofa, in one click.
Same thing with virtual travelling and virtual touring. Thanks to technology we can go pretty much as far as desired — all without a passport, and just with a screen. Of course, way less fascinating than a real trip in in the many enchanting corners of the world, but, hey, still better than nothing!
As days go by, people start slowly thinking about when they will go back to their usual life, and return to work. Pressure starts to kick in, and we ask ourself what challenges are expecting us after the emergency. The best thing to do is be positive, and keep yourself updated on what is going to happen in your specific sector. If you are in the fashion industry, you can dedicate some time to explore our magazine, discovering all the news we got for you, and some pretty cool Italian brands and their amazing new collections. We hope you enjoy it!
