Home Alone Activities That Suits You

We are going through an unusual period. We hurt for our losses; Our worries about the relentless struggle of humanity with the New Coronavirus disease are enduring. Most of us don’t even feel the frustration of delaying our closest travel plans anymore. However, getting used to despair does not suit those who are hungry to explore like us. While life was flowing normally, we were complaining about not having time for ourselves when we talked about work, school, responsibilities against our environment, struggle with the chaos of the city. Currently we have started a period which can be defined as compulsory service to ourselves. Since we cannot leave the houses, it is right time to hug the hobby that we could not start until today.

Meditation, which literally means ‘deep thinking’, requires a purely personal focus, so you can actually experience a deeper inner journey at home on your own. Create a space for yourself in the corner where you feel most comfortable in your home, burn your incense and candles, play your soothing meditative music in the background. (These music lists are also abundant on the internet.) Listen to yourself a bit, try to forget the problems that worry you, thank for what you have, discover the energy inside you and try to direct it to positive.

The time warning systems of these applications, which offer you music lists according to the type of meditation you want to try while coaching, can also push you to a disciplined study.

World-renowned artists started to give concerts from home and cultural institutions started collective interviews. Make note of many local and foreign artists you love, the publications with content from different art disciplines, on your event agenda, take your place when the broadcast starts and enjoy the art.
