You are good to go with their daily live videos.

TAKE YOUR BATH: a lot of people have resulted to the HIMBA cultural lifestyle of not taking their bath just because no going out therefore no reason to clean up. Having an early bath have a way of energizing the body, it kind of tap the reset button and the body goes from slow motion to activated in a flash. It works for me!

EAT: This period is an opportunity to eat adequate home-cooked meal which the daily hurry might have deprived you.food is good but be reminded not to overindulge, eat healthy meals mostly, with a little bit of ijekuje. Healthy meals should contain all classes of food in their right proportion not just fruits and veggies and don’t forget to stay hydrated as well.

SLEEP: the busy life might have refused you of the recommended sleeping hour and here you have it on a silver platter some will not still see this as a golden opportunity.This is the time to pay up all the carry over sleep, don’t keep late nights while keeping tabs with social media trend.  SLEEP NOW, WHILE YOU CAN!

INTROSPECTION: the power of journaling is often underestimated, it’s time for those souvenir jotters in your closet to be of use, at the end of each day, pen down how the day went and things that made the day awesome, also write out plans for the next day in the of primacy and watch those tasks challenging get done. Introspection should be included in post lock down activities, write down anything you minds brings to you, goals and how you plan to achieve it, a new idea that crossed your mind. IF YOU THINK IT, WRITE IT!
