THINGS TO DO WHEN BORED AT HOME

We often find ourselves bored at home, because we think we have no work to do, but boredom is often a good thing since it's basically a feeling you have during free time. So here are somethings sure to keep life spiced up and help you spend quality time when you are confined in the four walls of your house.   

• READ A BOOK - Reading is a very good way to spend and beneficial. There are many kinds of books - fantasies, autobiographies, novels, journals, encyclopedias ,etc. So if you think book reading is not your forte go pick out different types of books from your local book store or library and read at 45 mins diligently before you give up.  

• LISTEN TO MUSIC - Music is way to your heart and the outburst of your soul, it helps you feel emotions you can't describe. There are many types of songs that will suit your taste and mood. You can ask your music loving friend for good band or search for a musical instrument to your satisfactory.

• WATCH A MOVIE -Who doesn't like netflix and chill?! Make yourself popcorn and some snacks, then lounge on the sofa or spread blankets in front of your t.v and relax. You can subscribe for netflix or tune onto your favourite channel or download a movie from youtube. Pick any kind of movie you wish - thriller, action, rom-com, horror, documentaries, etc.

• WORKOUT - Who doesn't want a fit and toned body, all of us keep on making plans for working out but often our free time doesn't permit us, so now is the time you pick up your dumbbells or check out some youtube videos on how to work out for certain parts of your body. if you have a gym pass, then wear your sexy gym clothes and get out of your house and hit the gym.

• COOK YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER A MEAL - We all expect our partners to pamper us so now it a time to do the same (if you don't cook well it's okay, it's the effort that counts).
