Best Ways To Take Advantage of 'Social Distancing'
By now, I'm sure all of you have heard― and possibly exhausted― of the buzz about the Coronavirus. For most of us, our lives have been flipped upside down. Here at Craftmix, we want to give you some of the best ways to take advantage of this time, but more importantly, being able to have fun while being safe. From reflecting on your life to finding new activities, we hope this list gives you some inspiration to pass time positively. Enough blabbering.
Let's dive right in, shall we?
#1
Become a Meditation Master!
While this may sound silly, meditation is an extremely helpful practice to reconnect, re-evaluate, and recoup yourself. It is used by some of the most successful people today. In our busy, day-to-day lives, sometimes all we need is a moment to sit and relax. Meditation can be whatever you make of it, whether it is a few minutes of silence or a chunk of time dedicated to whatever you set your mind to. With more and more people working from home, it can be an easy activity to start incorporating into your life.

Cross Out Some of Your To-Do's!
Ah, the dreaded to-do list. Maybe it is time to start dusting off that list you made years ago, and get some stuff done! Is it cleaning up that garage? Patching up some kinks on the wall? Cleaning up the backyard? Whatever it is, try to find that one task that you 'just did not have the time for,' and GET. IT. DONE! Whenever you can cross something off that to-do list, you will feel accomplished to move onto something else! It's all about getting that ball rolling. Soon, you will be unstoppable.

Create New and Exciting Goals!
Remember that one thing you did at the beginning of this year? Hmm....what is it...OH! A New Year's Resolution! Right! We totally forgot about those.
Maybe it is time to evaluate some of those goals you made just a few months ago. Are you staying on track? Maybe you've completed them and can make a new goal? Whatever it is, ensure you are staying up to date on those goals! They are an excellent way to ensure you are keeping up with what you set your mind to.
But wait...maybe your goal is just too hard to reach. What should you do?
Consider making smaller goals that lead up to that big goal. If you need to, revise it a little bit, because a bunch of small victories ends up turning into a very important and big win.
Some ideas of fun yet useful goals are:
1. Start Learning a New Language
2. Learn How to Cook
3. Find a New Skill or Hobby
#4
Play Some Games!
Game time baby! Let's be honest, none of us want to work, meditate, clean, and set goals all day long. This is why we bring in the fun. Let's jump right into a list of games you can play by yourself or with someone from the comfort of your own home.
