It is important to stay connected with those we don’t see at home, but unfortunately, we are now reliant on technology to do so. That means spending hours every day staring at screens, and while talking to friends does help pass the time and simulate some normalcy, it’s also important to disconnect from technology for a while and spend some time with your thoughts. Doing activities that don’t require technology allows you the chance to relax in ways that staring at a screen simply cannot. So, go for a walk, paint something, play an instrument. It is important to stimulate our brains when we may be feeling a bit restless stuck in the house.
