You might cook every day or may be not at all but this will bring at least some change to what you are already doing. Look for new recipe of snack or meal in your phone or magazines.

Just start once and repeat it every day.

 

2.    Get Into Some Physical Activity:



That comfortable sofa / bed must have been your best companion during these months but this should now stop. It will be hard at first to start but try with small things like household chores or evening Bollywood dance moves or some random fitness videos. If you want to lose weight then what else can be better to start with. You can add your friends or family to start with you on video calls as using technology is always fun.

 

3.    Make A Routine:



So after doing the above mentioned ideas for a day or two now you can make a routine for yourself and add these activities.

It could be anything big or anything small. From waking up, meditating, having or making meals, binge watching a show and dancing freely in a closed room.

 

4.    Start Reading A Book:



Most of the parents tried to inculcate the habit of reading books in their child which was hard but some did and some does partial. But now when we can’t move out of our houses and have nothing much to do or to think, why not to start this habit again? Take any magazine or a biography or motivational or your favourite story from childhood to start with. This will divert your mind and might give more ideas to you.
