The pandemic has thrown us all off our routines and it is easy to  focus on the things we are missing. Here are a few suggestions on how to make the most of the current situation.

Step #1: Expand on what you love.

Example: Since being in Quarantine, I, like many other people, have had lots of extra time on my hands. A key to staying sharp is to fill that time with  new  activities or things you like to do. I’ve been filing my time with by ice fishing and baking.

Step #2: Bond with the people around you.

Example: I’ve been stuck with my family for a long time , and we have been destroying one another in board games, watching every movie we own, and even trying new concoctions found from the depths of the recipe books.

Step #3: Enjoy the time with your pets.

Example: I see my dog every minute of every day and it surprises me how little time it takes him to lose his toys in the house. Its a game to him to see if I can find where he hides them. Apparently this game never gets old.
