Keep calm and carry on with these conscious activities you can do indoors. From yoga and meditation to executive coaching and creating real change from home. Because staying in is the new going out.
Is it just us, or does it feel like we’re living in a parallel universe right now? A mere few months into 2020 and already we want to stop the world and get off. As an increasing number of countries introduce lockdown measures of one form or another, trying to maintain a sense of normalcy amid the chaos is swiftly becoming the hottest topic of conversation.
If you’ve found yourself in isolation, quarantine, or lockdown, whether it be self-imposed or mandatory, here are a few digital and fun happenings at home to keep cabin fever at bay. Though we may have lost our freedom for a bit, let’s not lose our heads. Because at times like this, it’s more important than ever to prioritise mental, physical, and emotional health.
Create real change from home… with us!
Every Wednesday at 7 pm SG/HK time, we’ll be holding a series of free online sessions called “Create Real Change (from home): building a new world post-crisis”. Expect panel discussions, presentations, movement classes, and more. Sign up here.Â
Our goal is to gather as many people as possible to do two things, firstly; rewrite the narrative of the planet we want to live in post-COVID-19. And two; pledge collectively, as individuals and companies, to take #LittleGreenSteps that positively impact our planet. You can find inspiration for the action you can take on at the bottom of the Take Action page on our website.Â
