Continuing the series of at home activities, here are five more things you can do indoor:

6. Take online courses

Challenge yourself to take advantage of the free time and build skills with courses, certificates, and degrees online. You have numerous websites and apps that give you free or subscription based courses in numerous fields, so go online and search how you can build your skills with online courses. For example:

  • Coursera.org offers a high range of online courses, including arts&humanities, business, computer science, personal development, physical science and engineering or language learning.
  • On udemy.com you can find business, IT and software, design, marketing, photography or personal development classes.

7. Have a spa experience

Take some time for yourself to run a warm bath, do your manicure, apply a hair and face mask, put on body and face creams, all while you are listening to your favorite music. Sometimes it’s the small things in life that make us feel better and self-care days, especially in times of heightened stress, are vital to good mental health.

8. Work towards your personal goal

Many of us constantly have a list of things that we’ve been meaning to do and kept postponing. Maybe start a blog, do some home improvements, learn how to play an instrument, update your resume to apply to a new job, learn how to knit. Whatever it may be, take advantage of the free time to work toward your personal goal.

9. Binge your favorite shows

Now is the time to catch up on your favorite TV shows and documentaries. Whether you have a cable subscription or take a subscription with Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO or similar apps, relax and unwind with some quality entertainment.
