Being stuck at home doesn't necessarily mean getting bored: rather than lazing around thinking about why being at home is so boring, get busy and use this time to do one of those things you've always wanted to do.

Change the arrangement of the furniture, or plan a bigger modification, if you can afford it (or if you can go out and buy the necessary).

Step 14. Look inside yourself

Use this quiet time to meditate, contemplate the world and discover yourself. Who are you? What do you want to be? (also applies to those already "large"). What do you see different in the world than others?

What would you do with 1 million euros? What would you call a pet monkey? What risks do you like to take? What would you like to do before you die? What would you ask the President (or someone else famous for)?

Step 22. Make plans for the upcoming holidays or birthdays

Think about what gifts, decorations and dishes to prepare for these holidays.

Advice

  • Don't get caught up in bad thoughts.
  • Create new outfits. Do your homework, or origami, curl your hair, read a book, watch a movie, make the bed, do the laundry and wash the dishes - in short, do something that makes you feel good.
  • Do something constructive and use your time. You can also unleash creativity inside the walls of the house.
  • You can also do these activities with your family, friends or even your pets.
  • If you are forced to stay at home all summer, don't spend time lazing around or you'll just get bored even more. Try surfing the internet for something interesting or fun, or invent a new game, or start doing your homework. If you don't like these suggestions, you can pretend to be a great Chef and prepare a delicacy for your relatives or friends to try. You can use your time to clean around the house, because it will make you feel better and you will live in a more beautiful and healthier place. Your parents may even decide to give you some cash for this job!
  • Call some friends and invite them over to do something together.
  • Try a new stretching exercise and try to stretch yourself more and more.
  • If you are forced to stay home for a long time (e.g. due to an injury), call some friends and invite them over to spend time with you.

Warnings

  • Follow the rules set by your parents: for example, if you cannot go out because you are alone at home, you will have to respect this rule.
  • Know and respect your limits and your abilities. Don't spend money you don't have and don't start projects you can't manage on your own.
