Right now on the island of Ireland, thousands upon thousands of us are doing our bit to stop the spread of COVID-19, by doing absolutely nothing.
Households all across the country are isolating themselves from their family and friends for the foreseeable future, and for some this is actually a dream come true.
But for the majority of us, being stuck in confined quarters for days on end is the stuff of nightmares.
Whether you're all on your own and going crazy from boredom or your family or housemates are starting to drive you insane, cabin fever can easily take hold.
However, there are some simple measures that you can take to help adapt to life on the inside.
Exercise.
Twenty minutes of exercise every day can help lift your mood greatly via the release of endorphins, as well as reducing feelings of tension.
There are plenty of great ways you can stay in shape without going to the gym or leaving the house.

This can be as simple as phoning a friend for a chat, sending someone an email, or you could even do a workout together via one of the platforms mentioned above.
Make Little Occasions Special.
