Self-isolation is challenging as it is, but when you are spending 24/7 with your family or roommates, it can get even more interesting. It doesn't matter if you have an amazing relationship with the people you live with or not. We are all different and we all need our personal space but also a time when we want to hang out with others. Sometimes those two parts can clash with others and when you want to hang someone else might want to be by themselves. In that kind of situation, the tension can rise and with that, we can say or act rashly. Living with four other family members, I decided to share with you my tips on surviving self-isolation with others.

I don't want to jinx myself but I don't remember the last time I felt this inspired. I've been creating content that I feel very proud of and it is making me very happy. I used to struggle with consistent posting which those who follow me for a long time probably know. I'm not really good at focusing on multiple important things at the time. I'm a student so balancing uni and blog can sometimes get a little bit hectic. With the current situation and social distancing, I finally found the balance between the two. Here are some of the things that made me inspired to create new content and to be consistent.

Now more than ever it is easy to fall in the negative circle of thoughts. Spending so much time indoors in space that sometimes feels like it is getting smaller and smaller as the days pass, it is not so strange to start to feel nervous, anxious and sad. Social media can be such a great way to escape but it can also bring self-doubt and pity (when it seems like you are the only one not making dalgona coffee, banana bread and playing animal crossing). As normal as it is to feel sad, annoyed and anxious once in a while, wouldn't it just be better to feel happy, cheerful and hopeful once again?

Most of us probably haven't been on a trip for a few months now. It seems like it is going to be like that for quite some time. Those who are big travel addicts are probably having a hard time. That is totally understandable given the situation we are in. Although we should all stay at home and with that make chances to finally go on a trip much bigger, there are some ways you can calm your travel bug a little bit longer.

There are two types of people, those who are "die-hard workout enthusiasts" and those who are "I workout because that's the only way to get a healthy body" type. It doesn't matter which description feels most relatable to you, you are both sentenced to actually getting up and working out. Some of you probably prefer working in a gym or doing group workouts which unfortunately isn't possible anymore.
Others love to work in the comfort of their home so they find it a little bit easier to get active without leaving their homes. For those who struggle with working whatsoever and this current situation isn't really helping them out, I decided to share with you some ways you can workout for home and for free right now.

The biggest changes in your life don't need to be extra. Sometimes to see that positive change in your everyday life all you need is implementing mini habits. Those are the things that we usually overlook. We might do them once in a while without realizing how much benefit they would bring to us only if we started doing them more regularly.
The ones that I am going to write about in this post are super simple and easy to do. Some of them are probably already part of your every day but some are maybe not. There are, of course, a thousand more that you could start doing but I decided to share only these 5.

We live in a strange time and place. The world and the people in it need as much love as possible. The current situation might not be so challenging for some people, but some could find it difficult. Without or with issues we are facing nowadays, there will always be some of our loved ones that are struggling.
We need to have in mind that those people need our help and support. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do to help them. We might feel like we need to make big sacrifices or go out of our own way to make sure that those people are feeling better. In fact, there are so many simple things that we can do and I wanted to emphasize these 4.

Last week was the first week of social-distancing. It feels weird writing about it as it makes it feel strange. The start of it was a little bit challenging as this isn't the situation I believe most of us thought would end up in. I knew that the only way to make it a little bit easier to get through is to focus on petite joys. I didn't want to look at it from a negative standpoint. On the contrary, I focused on all the things I could do for myself and for others. First and most important was to STAY AT HOME.

Do you feel like you know where you want to go but it's like something is holding you back?
Don't worry, you are not alone! Most of us feel this way and more than you would think. Making that first step as hard or easy as it can be is always a challenge. Our brain is programmed to save us from uncomfortable and dangerous things. Sometimes it is doing so to the things that are actually good for us.
So how to fake your brain into actually making that first step towards something you've been wanting to do but the fear was holding you back. This is something that no one but you can do. That's why in my opinion it is best to ask yourself these questions...

I hope you are all doing well!
With the coronavirus spreading throughout the whole world it seems like the best way to fight it is to stay in the comfort of our own home. Those who are used to being active and spending their time outside might find this a little bit challenging. It may seem like there aren't enough interesting things to do behind four walls. Well, that isn't completely true. You won't even believe how many fun and productive things you can do while spending most of your day inside.
