Ways to Beat Boredom

Ways to Beat Boredom

Destiny Olivas, Co Editor-In-Chief

We are all learning how to adapt to the new normal as we protect ourselves and communities by practicing social distancing. This has us having a new daily routine and to work out a way to adjust. Now it´s time to get creative instead of eating when you’re bored and sleeping all day. Here are some ways to pass time and reset our priorities:

  • This one should go without saying but clean your home. This also sneaks in a mini-workout.
  • Facetime your family and friends.
  • Listen to some uplifting podcasts.
  • Read a book that you have been wanting to finish or never got to.
  • Download the app Duolingo to learn a new language. 
  • Print some coloring books instead of ordering them if you want to avoid packages. (Yes some of us are teens and adults but it is very soothing and therapeutic.)
  • Explore virtual museums. (here and here)
  • Cook and bake new recipes. ( cooking  and baking )
  • Practice meditating. 
  • Download the app Nike Training Club to do workouts or yoga.
  • Journal things that you are grateful for.
