How To Stay Sane In The Corona Virus Quarantine
The coronavirus is a serious global pandemic that’s affecting various aspects of our lives- our careers, our health, our social lives and even our mental health. To take extra precaution, it’s significant to stay indoors at all times- both to avoid getting sick and to avoid infecting others. However, for some people, staying indoors can be specifically challenging. Whether you’re a natural extrovert or not, some individuals depend on distractions such as going outside to deal with their thoughts.
By staying indoors, you’re forced to be with your thoughts, on a daily basis with your only means of distractions being Netflix, video games, social media and books. It can be a challenge to stay sane, amidst the coronavirus quarantine, however there are still some ways you can keep both your sanity and your safety. With this being said, the following are ways to maintain your mental health while following safety precautions during the quarantine:
Workout.

You can finally find time to workout amidst your work tasks. Not to mention, working out is an effective strategy when dealing with your thoughts and your emotions.
Be Creative.
With this quarantine, it’s the time to come up with new creative ideas for your passion. Whether you’re passionate about writing, painting art or making videos, it’s your perfect opportunity to focus completely on your passion and nothing else. This makes as the perfect outlet for whatever thoughts you may be struggling with.
You know what they say, turn your thoughts into art- there’s no better outcome than that.
Get Some Rest.

Whether it’s thoughts on work or on your personal problems, give yourself the chance to rest. Meditation is a good option for this.
In conclusion, the coronavirus quarantine isn’t something we all expected to happen, but it’s for the sake of your safety and health. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the entirety of your mental health, though.
