So, What Can You Do - Whilst Being In Self-Isolation? Here Are Some Answers....

So, why is this important? It is so important because a lot of us, may not be used to being in self-isolation at your own home or at designated Hotels paid for by the Australian Government. We do have to look after our own wellbeing first. Then we can look after others.

That means, we have to be in a good state of mind. Even a happy state of mind. Getting us there may be difficult for some as it is hard for us to think what can we do at home. My first recommendation is to remain calm and think things out. Then comes the list of things you can choose from. Not all is something happy you wish to do. It is up to you personally how you choose which one you do.

Remember the Australian Government is doing everything in their power to prevent the Coronavirus COVID-19 disease to spread. This will support their efforts and  keep us safe from others.

Here is the list, in no special order:

• Creative writing: write a book, blogpost, poetry scripts for TV or Radio Shows, letters to to the editor to newspapers
• running around your  back garden, house or unit
• Talk to your pets: dogs, birds, cats, reptiles

My simple rule is what you have worn or used in the last year, dispose of it. Someone else may  have better use of it - Donate it to local charities
• Study a subject that you haven't studied before through your own resources, Google and other electronic search engines and present your study to your family living with you
