Well, a situation we've never experienced before - unlimited quarantine or staying at home longer because of the dangerous corona virus. We really have to stay at home if possible and think about our safety and that of other people. Unfortunately, social contacts are currently not desired and can pose a serious threat to many of us. Luckily there is social media and the numerous communication technologies that make it possible for us to be together despite the difficult times. It is not for nothing that many online platforms and blogs have called up the so-called Stay-at-home-Challenge and suggested many virtual events and activities.

We also want to give you some helpful activity ideas on how to kill boredom. Of course, these also apply otherwise, but especially now. Don't give up and stay confident. It is a time for more mindfulness as well as creativity and solidarity. We will get through this Corona crisis together!

I'm sure there's already plenty of small stuff all over your own four walls. For example, start with your workplace. Right now you need more overview than usual. This ensures more clarity and inner balance. In this way you can ultimately work much more concentrated.

5 Listen to podcasts

Especially if you work from home and your eyes and back are too strained during the day, you can relax in the armchair from time to time and listen to interesting podcasts. At the same time, this also helps the brain to switch off briefly and devote itself to another area of thought.

What is reminiscent of writing a diary frees the soul and at the same time strengthens the immune system. Here you can find out exactly how this works.

The good old books! Sometimes we unfairly neglect them. Pick up one of your favorite books and relive it or get yourself a new book recommendation, depending on your own taste and personal preferences of course.

8 Learning a foreign language online

Learning a foreign language is not for everyone, but it is a lot of fun in our digital age. Because the range of online courses and workshops is really enormous. Many of them are even free. Everyone can find their favorite teachers and channels, for example on YouTube, without obligation, or take part in a tandem language program.

Playgrounds and many public parks are currently closed or should be avoided. However, it is not a bad idea to go out into the fresh air and it is particularly important for physical and mental well-being. Therefore, if possible, take short walks in nature where no people are around. Wide meadows and forests are perfect for this.

15 Meditation and Yoga

Those who meditate and practice yoga regularly don't really know boredom. It gives you a completely different perspective on life and everything that's going on. You are more alert and focused, yet relaxed and confident. You learn to feel deep gratitude through mindfulness and to perceive the here and now with all your senses.
