Whilst being extra productive during this time spent in lockdown and you should be proud of yourself for picking up a new skill, it's really not by force. If you want a day or two to just relax and get away from it all in the comfort of your bed, your room or some other part of your home, you shouldn't be made to feel guilty about it. Relaxing is just as important as the grind so don't hesitate to indulge in some 'me' time that can help alleviate Covid-19 worries.
Listen To Some Music
Escape the pandemic noise for a little bit and put on some music. Make yourself a playlist of your favourite songs and enjoy them in their full glory. If you're lacking some inspiration, Spotify has a great selection of mood-boosting playlists ready to go. We especially love the Mood Booster playlist.
Join Your Favourite IG DJ's At Their Live Parties
Just because you can't leave your house doesn't mean you can't have a virtual turn up with your friends and your favourite DJ's. DJ EZ recently held a 24-hour live stream, and this article by Esquire provides a list of running live streams, so make sure you keep up to date with your favourite artists as more and more of them offer live, virtual gigs.
For Those Missing Social Interactions
Just because you're currently social distancing doesn't mean you have to emotionally disconnect. We're lucky to live in a world full of technology that emotionally lessens the distance between friends even when we can't do so physically.
