Resting

For a start, many people have stated they have been up to, well…nothing. Many people have realised the importance of rest and sleep. Relaxation is known to be very beneficial to reduce stress and anxiety, improve people’s mood, decrease blood pressure/chronic pain, improve the immune system and build a stronger cardiovascular system. Sleep is highly underrated and in our quick and fast-paced lives, it’s quite easy to see sleeping and rest as extra or a waste of time. 

 

Video Games

With the rise of technological advancements so did arise the popular world of gaming. During the pandemic two of the biggest names in video gaming have seen a demand spike as lockdowns and quarantine forced people to stay at home. Call of Duty and Fifa player numbers have soared during the pandemic. Today there are 1000s of games featuring gigantic worlds that allow players to co-operate and explore or battle against each other. Another no brainer as to why it has become so popular during the pandemic. Players stuck at home looking to have a laugh and some fun with friends have been meeting up online and forging friendships online.

 

Online Sports Betting

With people stuck inside and not being able to play or engage in their favourite sports many have decided to watch their favourite teams and athletes online. Naturally this led to an increase in online sports betting, with players looking for excitement wagering online. This being said one should always do a research and find a platform that provides honest information and reviews of the best betting sites Canada before heading over to try to wager themselves. Online betting can be a great way for people to unwind and have a laugh with some friendly wagers.

 

Streaming

Naturally, streaming has taken over with the rise of the internet, with individuals accessing digital content constantly increasing. Wether’s it’s Netflix or viewer’s favourite podcast streaming has taken a huge chunk of what people enjoy doing during their free time. People have also tuned in to their favourite streamers online for entertainment such as those found on Twitch and Youtube. Whether viewers are bing watching the witcher or any other film/series it’s good to know they’re not alone.

 

Music

Music is known to improve moods, decrease anxiety and facilitate opportunities for emotional expression. Whether you are just a listener, a seasoned musician or someone just looking to start a new hobby, music has been a great way to spend some free time according to many people stuck at home. After all, making music can be highly engaging and with today’s technology has become accessible and easy with just the use of a laptop. 

 

Gardening/DIY

Others have decided to unwind by going back to natural roots, with gardening and DIY on the rise. Gardening can not only be an engaging and fun process, but it also helps us unwind and take a break from our technology packed environment. It’s also highly rewarding when done right, whether it’s gardening flowers, fruits or even a tree. 

 

Baking/cooking

Chef’s have also been on the rise since pandemic time with many viewers stuck at home watching cooking tutorials on all their favourite snacks and food. Whether you’re looking to become the next cake boss or maybe the next Gordon Ramsay there are countless recipes and cooking tutorials to be found online! Cooking can be a fun experience to do as a family or with loved ones. Some people have decided to take this a step further with food games such as blind tasting! Who said food needs to be boring.

 

Drinking

Many people have also envisioned themselves as alcohol connoisseurs with alcohol consumption soaring high during the pandemic. Many people seem to want to forget about this whole ordeal or maybe help unwind and dance to some of their favourite tunes. Drinking after all can be great fun especially when paired with certain games, for example beer pong. 

 

Learning New Skills

With loads of free time on their hands, people have taken it upon themselves to learn some new skills. These range from art, music, cooking and some are even brave enough to enter the world of auto mechanics.  People have also taken photoshop skills and photography as a part-time hobby.

 

Fitness

Of Course with all the free time gym heads are stuck to home workouts! With so many personal trainers left to rely on online classes. While stuck at home it’s important to remember the importance of exercising. You can exercise easily at home with no equipment and luckily you can google exercises for any sort of fitness you are after whether you just want to get in shape, lose a few pounds or become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger
