10 Things To Do During The Virus

1. Set goals

So you have more time on your hands and hey, it’s still kind of New Year, so why don’t you set yourself some goals, and even start executing them. Here’s some tips!

Set SMART Goals; specific, measurable attainable, realistic, and time bound goals:
Make your goal clear, well defined, accessible and easy. Be as precise as you can, with amounts, dates (needs to have a deadline), measurements so that you can see your successes clearly.

Set attainable and relevant goals
Make sure that it’s possible to achieve the goals you set, or it will demoralize yourself. Also make sure goals should be relevant to the direction you want your life and career to take.

Set goals in writing, and make an action plan
The physical act of writing down a goal makes it more real and accessible.

Writing out your goals will makes it more real and accessible. Also put the individual steps on paper, then crossing each one off as you complete it, you’ll realize that you are making progress towards your ultimate goal.

Outdoor Activities: With gyms closed across the country, High Intensity Interval Training can be a great way to get the blood flowing and increase endorphins – they are short bursts of high intensity exercises such as squats, punches and running on the spot, followed by a short period of rest. There are plenty of free HIIT workouts that can be found online, only take 20-30 minutes and many don’t need any equipment at all. Or why don’t you hop on your (Mo)bike, or take the bus or metro a more remote area to and have a walk or run.
