Music Trip

One thing that has been quite therapeutic to a lot of people during the pandemic is music. It can influence a lot of our emotions and bring us to highs or allow us to process some of our negative emotions. And if there is anything that Filipinos love to do is to sing karaoke. Pull up a karaoke list from YouTube and belt out your favorite tunes to your heart’s content. Make it a family thing and invite your entire household. Turn it into a party and include some snacks that can be as simple as CDO Chicken Franks Sandwiches that you can enjoy while having the time of your life singing.

Exercise

Exercise has been guaranteed to make one feel better about their situation and it’s something that you can easily do at home. Exercise allows your body to produce endorphins which is a natural chemical inside the body that works as natural pain relievers and boost your mood too. It’s often referred to as the happy hormone. Those that exercise generally are seen in a better mood and are able to handle stress and negative emotions better than those that do not exercise. You can easily follow exercise videos on YouTube, complete with instructors you can follow or even join and register to workout classes available online. After your exercise, you can grab yourself a light and healthy sandwich with San Marino Corned Tuna to complete your morning routine.

Online Hangouts

With the pandemic still ongoing and the continuous COVID cases, people would still prefer to keep their distance and meet family and friends via online hangouts. From online party games to watch parties or something as simple as just eating together even if just on-screen, getting together via video calls will be here to stay. While it’s not the same, it addresses the important desire we have for social interaction. Make these video sessions more fun by whipping up delicious and easy to assemble meals like CDO Ham Sliders or CDO Luncheon Meat Tacos that you can munch on.

Start your new year right and use these ways to adapt to our new normal and see that not everything is not all doom and gloom.
