Much in life is a matter of attitude. If you change your perspective, you can see an unfortunate situation as an opportunity and make the best of it within the realms of possibility.
We all miss our families, friends and colleagues. At the same time, we all suddenly have time to do the things we normally don't make time for. Cleaning windows, clearing out the closet, reading books, watching a whole series with a clear conscience.
This is how the her1 team passes the extra time at home.
1 Flo (Operations) - Practicing mindfulness with the Wim Hof method
"I'm currently trying out the Wim Hof method method. It's important to me to be mindful of my body so that I don't get lost within my own four walls. The breathing exercises increase the amount of oxygen in your body, you have more energy, reduce stress and boost your immune response at the same time. The additional cold shower also improves the quality of sleep and increases the production of endorphins, which naturally lifts the mood."
2nd Maritta (product) - Up-cycling with fashion tutorials
"My current favorite YouTube channel is @withwendy. Wendy transforms a sleeping bag into a winter coat, copies skin couture looks (Gucci face mask with rhinestones!) and has made her own wedding dress. Thanks to the creative tutorials, I have rediscovered my old hobby of sewing. My upcycling projects are not (yet) red carpet ready, but the evenings at home are flying by."
3. Essi (Marketing) - Apartment upgrade with cool colors
"At the weekend, my boyfriend and I painted one wall in the bedroom and one in the living room. We chose relatively dark colors as a special eye-catcher. But that's not our only DIY project: in the last few weeks, we've already built a shoe rack and under-bed boxes to store our extra bedding in a dust-free way."
