There are lots of different ways that you can relax, take notice of the present moment, and use your creative side. Due to working so many hours, I haven't had the time to write about my thoughts and start thinking about the thing that I use to help me get through the tough times we face.

These include: arts and crafts, such as drawing, painting, collage, sewing, craft kits, or upcycling. Being a single dad and trying to find things to do can be challenging? DIY = Do it Yourself, always works better. Coloring: I love to color and it can relax you. Give it a try? Mindfulness: I always try to be mindful of others and try to connect with people on a regular base. Playing musical instruments, singing or listening to music: This is one of my worst ones yet. I do sing when no one is around. lol! Writing: I love to write and sometimes just write in a journal about things that come to mind. Yoga: Tried it, but a little too old to do it! lol, Give it a try! Meditation: Is the key to keeping a healthy mind and relaxing. Here are just a few more of my thoughts, as you might know, my mind runs 24/7. Are just a few ways to make use of your time. Checklist for staying at home Food: do you have a way to get food delivered if you need to self-isolate? Cleaning: do you have cleaning supplies? Work: can you carry on working, including working from home? If not, can you find out your rights to payment or benefits? Medication: do you have enough medication or a way to get more? Health: can you reorganize any planned therapy or treatments? Connectivity: have you got ways to keep in contact with people you see regularly, like their phone numbers, email addresses? Do you need help setting up digital communication, like a video calling app? Routine: can you create a routine or timetable for yourself? And if you live with other people, should you create a household schedule? Do you need to agree with how the household will run with everyone at home all day? Exercise: is there any physical activity you can do inside your home, like going up and down the stairs, using bean tins as weights, or exercises you can do in your chair? Nature: have you thought about how you can bring nature into your home? Can you get some seeds and planting equipment delivered, or put up photos of green spaces? Entertainment: have you thought about things to do, books to read or TV shows to watch? Relax: have you got materials so you can do something creative, such as pencils and paper? Feel free to reach out to us at Jobcase to let us know how you are doing? Bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. It can improve your mood, reduce feelings of stress or anger, and make you feel more relaxed. It is possible to get the positive effects of nature while staying indoors at home. You could try the following: Spend time with the windows open to let in the fresh air. Arrange a comfortable space to sit, for example by a window where you can look out over a view of trees or the sky, or watch birds and other animals. Look at photos of your favorite places in nature. Use them as the background on your mobile phone or computer screen, or print and put them up on your walls. Listen to natural sounds, like recordings or apps that play birdsong, ocean waves, or rainfall. Get as much natural light as you can. Spend time in your garden if you have one, or open your front or back door and sit on the doorstep. If you have safe access to green space like a garden, you could bring some natural materials to decorate your living space or use them in art projects. This could include leaves, flowers, feathers, tree bark, or seeds. You may be able to buy seeds, flowers, or plants online for delivery, to grow and keep indoors. If you order items for delivery, ask to have them left at your doorstep, to avoid face-to-face contact.
