One thing I realized during this Corona virus stuff is that you have to make your home your sanctuary, meaning its a place where you can be and do you. That means filling your home with your favorite hobbies, plus ways to relax. Most people make their homes as a place where they eat and go to sleep. That's not a home. Its a place where you keep your stuff.
Im not bored because of this. I can do a whole lot of things if I wanted. I could sit and write, I can listen to music while I clean or for sheer enjoyment, I can read, I can watch tv, I can play games on my phone (which I really haven't been doing for real), I can play videogames, or make music. I can create as well as train my dog. I can watch movies also. I can organize my poetry into one book. The possibilities are endless. In fact, today I gave myself permission to watch Roku because the tv is there for me to relax, and is usually the last thing I think about doing. I think of this corona thing as something to help me focus on completing things that Ive started. It's helping me out a lot.
To those who dont have anything in mind that they can do, Im sure you could come up with something, especially if you have kids. Read to them and put their names in the story to make it interesting. If they can read, have them read you a story. If they struggle, then help them sound it out. Teach them how to help cook a meal. Have them stir something up thats on the stove. Teach them that the stove is not something to play with. Show them how to handle hot things if they are old enough. Draw and color with them. Have them draw how they feel so they can learn to explain their feelings to you and why it's important. It's spring time, so Im sure people are planting gardens. If you have limited space, start a few plants in some flower pots. Have them watch them grow and show them how to take care of plants. If you struggle in this area, then you can learn together.
Maybe Im overstepping my boundaries when it comes to kids. But I do have experience with teaching them since I dont have any myself. The sky is the limit. If you are single, find things that you like to do and do them. If you are with someone, find ways to do things together. Maybe I'm just talking out of my butt since I dont really know some of you guys for real and you might want to tell me to Get the Fuck Outta Here With That Mess. But I do know how to fight boredom.
Goodnight yall.
