Weekly Wellbeing: Self-Care at Home

[Bre-RO]

It's been great to read through what everyone is doing to stay well and busy at home! I've been really enjoying home cooked meals. Usually I'm always out and about and spending a lot of money on take-away - I forgot how great it is to eat at home. Today I had a vegetarian burger with my favourite pickles that I can never find at a restaurant

I'm also thinking about rescuing a pet to keep me company at home over the coming months - which I'm so excited about.

@Bre-RO  I am very very pro the cat plan!!!

These two have been keeping me company a lot while I work from home ( @Tiny_leaf  I think it was you who asked to see my cats the other day? Meet snowy and Sadie)

And I love the last part of the well-being wheel. 

I am finding myself really appreciating all of the beautiful things I see in nature even more at the moment. I took a few photos on my weekend jog and in my garden and they make me smile

Thanks a lot for the tips! I've been self-isolated for two weeks already and sometimes I get really anxious. On the bright side, I finally have free time for my hobbies. I'm making short game videos, still pretty amateurish, so I would be glad to chat with someone and maybe get some advice. I work with [removed] and some software tips and lifehacks are appreciated

Hey @tacket , welcome to the forums! 

Just to let you know we had to remove the link from your post as per our Community Guidelines,.

It's great to hear that you're finding time for your hobbies, I'm just tagging in another forum member @Bento  who has been starting to design games. Having something to focus on is a great way to manage those feelings of anxiety and feel like we have some control over our lives at such an uncertain time

Hey, crew! 

I just wanted to share this amazing piece from our content team, it's a collection of stories from young people around Australia about different things that they have been doing while they are at home.

Stories from young people during coronavirus

The stories range from Etcetera Etcetera, aka Oliver, a drag queen who can't perform live any more, but is doing live drag shows in instagram and collaborating on makeup design tutorials, to Zoe, who's finding gaming and contributing to good news story resources to be a real comfort. 

It really lifted my spirits this morning, and I thought it would also fit in well here with ideas for things to do at home

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share something that was sent to me today! 

Taronga Zoo now have Taronga TV (24/7 animal enclosure live streaming!) I think the feedings are live too, so you can watch all the animals

I really loved it! I usually read books and doing my skincare routine (masks, nails). It helps me to reload and get more energy for the next few days.
