Think about someone who has had a positive impact on your life and spend five minutes writing a letter to this individual.

Taking some time to express gratitude not only gives you something to do to combat boredom but it can impact your health in a number of positive ways.

Puzzle-making is a calming way to spend time together at home. Hours can be spent finding just the right pieces to add to the puzzle. The best part is when you see the finished product. This isn’t a one-night activity, so set aside a place that the puzzle can be undisturbed. You can find mats that roll your puzzle up when you aren’t working on it. If you have a spare table that isn’t used daily, you could have it there on display and readily available to continue on.
