Grab your snacks and sit down and relax by watching a new movie. 

Try cooking something new

It allows you to do something together and to enjoy something when you’re done. 

Start a new craft, like coloring or painting

Grab some paint brushes, markers, a coloring book or whatever else you have available and begin putting your creativity on a canvas. Coloring or painting is a good way to relax and to enjoy something instead of thinking about what is happening in the world around you. 

Have a self care day

Write a bucket list of what to do when you can leave
