@ecla34 Great idea for a Weekly Wellbeing!
@Anonymous Wow that sounds like you have the most amazing routine working for you - I admire your drive!
Like many of y'all my shakeups tend to be food-based hahah I've been ordering takeaway from a lot of local restaurants that I haven't had the chance to try before and I've been making sure to order directly through the business (not ubereats etc.) so that all the profit goes to them! I've also been trying out a bunch of different recipes and using ingredients that I'm not so familiar with - it's been a great experiment so far! I'm not a big baker but last week I made a caramel mudcake and it was delish

Thanks for this awesome weekly wellbeing @ecla34 , I love the idea of shaking things up a bit to boost our wellbeing, I can definitely relate to feeling like time is all starting to meld together a bit lately, and this is such a cool way to get out of a bit of a rut.
@Anonymous the different activities you plan with your husband sound really fun!
I have been itching to get outside and do some more hiking lately, so I've started to put together a list of places nearby that I can go for a bit of a hike on the weekends. I've been doing a lot of walking in our neighbourhood but I think a change of scene would definitely be a good thing.
I also really like the idea of dressing up at home! Have you guys seen the Bin Isolation Outing Facebook page? It's pretty much what it sounds like - people getting dressed up in outrageously amazing costumes to take their bins out, and sharing the photos - junkee did a story about it here

@ecla34 interesting idea, thanks!
Unfortunately I haven't done any of these. I guess it's a confusing hard time for everyone. I feel sorry for so many people, especially the workers, and those with mental health issues, it's so sad.

Hey @Anonymous, thanks for sharing. It is such a strange and difficult time for everyone at the moment! Do you think it would be helpful to do some of these? You don't have to if you don't want to or don't feel the need to. It is completely up to you!

I've definitely been going through the same routine over and over again recently, and one thing i've realised is that I havent been active enough while I'm doing work at home, so now I've tried to work while standing and moving about a little bit to change things up!

I've been loving my routine during this time. My husband and I put one up that covers a week, making sure it's got plenty of variety, and we're flexible with it. The evening activities are walking, movie night, mountain bike riding x2, camp fire, board games and a social* night. Then for me every morning I've been doing flexibility/strength exercises, and there's time over the week for study, cleaning/laundry, gardening, another walk (or swim), another movie slot, some art time and a bubble bath. One day we spend together doing a household project (towards the beginning of covid19 we went to all the rooms in the house and made lists of all the changes to make them better and we've been working on one room a week together). On the weekend we've got one day that's a combination of rest and adventure activities, and one that's planning for the next week (reviewing the routine, adding events, putting in the specifics) and gardening together.

Haha, @Tiny_leaf, your eating in the car thing made me giggle. My boyfriend and I did that on our anniversary. We devoured pizza in my car. It was actually a fantastic experience...highly recommend. I just want to remind everyone to bring napkins/wipes if they decide to do the same.
Sounds like you've got some great ways to "shake things up" there @Anonymous

Something I have done is trying different types of food and restaurants that do deliveries that I don't normally go anywhere near. 🙂 I've managed to discover a lot of new cuisines and types of food that I like.
Since I have been at home and in the past year, I have been writing notes and journal entries on my phone, but recently I decided to start writing down my notes again on paper. It definitely helps me remember them better. 🙂

One thing that works for me is getting takeaway and eating it in the car.
It probably sounds a bit pathetic, but I like the change in my environment and food, even for a short while.
