Experts believe that you will always find a reason to be happy no matter what is going on in your life. And the key is to take the initiative to make small and simple moments special. You can think about the things that make you happy and write a list of things you can do throughout the day to balance your energy.
In the early days of social distancing, most people had to stay at home, mostly just getting in and out of rooms, getting food, and watching news updates and entertainment programs. Then some people realize that such a life is really not suitable for them. Some people will feel bored and sluggish as if all the enthusiasm has been lost. To balance the energy in your body and get through this difficult period, you need to find the things that bring you joy.
In the period of social distancing, it seems that many people find it difficult to feel happy to hear the number of infections and deaths increase, the breadwinners lose their jobs. We can't see our friends and family, can't have entertainment - bars, cafes, restaurants - because they're all closed. Some people are under a lot of financial stress as a result of the outbreak. Others worry about family members getting sick, or getting sick themselves. Fear creates feelings of anxiety and depression. Although we don't get to choose our circumstances, we can absolutely choose how we react to life. And in any case, you have the opportunity to find joy.
You'll probably need moments of the day that are worth looking forward to, like feeling the whole day looking forward to date time on those weekend nights before the break. But when you can't go out, you need to make your daily routines fun. Here are 10 suggestions to help regain your spirit and balance your energy that you can refer to:
1. Go to the kitchen
One of the things that can bring you joy is cooking and baking. You'll happily focus full time and thought on the making, and marvel at your creations. By the time it's done, you're sure to feel brimming with pride for having achieved a new achievement.
2. Update the list of movies to watch
Make a list of good movies to share with your partner. Both of you will spend the evening together, lying under the blanket and in front of the TV screen, enjoying a meaningful story.
3. Brighten up the home space
You can buy flowers and put them in a vase on the dining table - where you can easily see and smile every time you pass by.
4. Physical activity
If you can't go to the gym or go for a run in the park, you can start your morning with a dance around the kitchen. Moments of free swinging to your favorite music will prepare you for a more positive day ahead.

5. Rest, relax
Your time at home during social distancing days is like an opportunity to recharge. When your spirits are lifted, you will begin to feel hopeful and optimistic.
6. Enjoy the quiet space
Do you often just sit around and do nothing? Most people don't do that often. Now try putting your phone on airplane mode, cut off all distractions and enjoy the fun of doing nothing.
7. Lost in a good story
Take advantage of the time of social distancing to deal with the pile of books that have been lying on the bookshelf that you haven't touched in a while. Reading 1-2 chapters before falling asleep at night will help you have a happy sleep.

8. Take a hot bath
If possible, soak in a hot tub filled with soap bubbles, light a few candles and maybe even sip a little wine like an actor in a movie.
9. Coordinating clothes
Take items from your wardrobe and remix them into the outfits you plan to wear when the lockdown is over. This helps you get rid of the sloppy home clothes you've worn all the time, see yourself more beautiful in the mirror, and temporarily forget about the rather boring reality.
10. Artistic creation
Watercolor painting, composing or listening to music... you can find joy in a hobby that suits you. This might be something you've wanted to do for a long time, but just didn't have the time to spend on it.
In stressful times, most of us are facing a lot of pressure. Therefore, creating moments of joy and refreshment in your own home becomes even more important. Little joys and happiness from the simple things in life will be very meaningful right now.
Although the above ways will not make all your troubles go away, but will restore the energy balance in the body. You will begin to wake up in the morning and look forward to the day, without feeling scared or intimidated by what is going on in the outside world. If you feel overwhelmed with negative information, simply retreat to one of your happy places to feel better. Once you realize how much the little things bring you happiness, you may feel that social distancing is just what you need.
