Hello everyone,

During this Coronavirus pandemic, many of us have been advised to "social distance" ourselves or even to stay at home, limiting contact with strangers, friends and even in some cases, family. No more outings to the cinema, the shops, the theatre and all those things we love to do.

We may be "stuck" at home, but let's not let it get us down!

Here are a few little ideas to help you keep busy while staying at home!

Take advantage of this time to:

Call and check up on your loved ones.
Get back into sport (indoors, obviously )! The internet is full of all kinds of tutorials and guides, there is something for everyone!
Read or reread the "classics" or any other of your favourite books.
Spend some time in the kitchen, recreating old recipes or testing new ones.
Do some spring cleaning or reorganisation.
And above all, do things that make you happy!

What will you be doing whilst staying at home? Do you have any tips or ideas for activities? Share you thoughts or ideas below!

Take care,

Courtney

I watched the video. It is good and relaxing. Does not take much of your time and makes you feel good

Hello Courtney

Thank you very much for the wonderful exercises. it is late evening when I came on the computer so I just watched what sort of exercises are there and I will have a go at them in the day time tomorrow. I have had 5 Spinal surgeries and am bent from my hips. Hence I walk with crutches out on the road, but in the house i dont need them because i can sit down any time. i do other on line exercises as well but the link you sent looks very interesting. I will certainly have a go at the first one tomorrow.

Thank you very much. You have made my day. Cant wait to try them out tomorrow

Hi Courtney

Well I tried some of the exercises. The one I tried was for over 50s but it was far too hectic and fast for me, but i did it. I had to stop the video 4 times during the exercises, but i completed it. I have very bad right knee and it was hard on the knees but i could modify it by bending it less than shown. Courtney, this is the best email I have received from Carenity. So many exercises to learn and it increases your motivation. I have saved this link and will do one video a day

Thanks Courtney

@nineteen_gale Hello nineteen_gale,

I'm so glad you liked the exercises! I think you've got the right approach, do it at your own pace and do what you can! It's important that we focus on ourselves and doing things that make us feel good during this difficult time. I'll make sure to include some more exercise videos from time to time as we go along! emoticon cute

Hello all,

Now today for our plant-loving members, I've got a little something for you! While we may not be able to get out as much to care for our gardens, here's a little video with some DIY ideas for gardening indoors:

@Courtney‍

Hi Courtney

This is not what I am waiting for. Its the link to the exercises you put in your email a few days ago. I will be very grateful if you can find and send me that link. It was lots of exercises on Auto play.

Thank you

Christina
