Reading: 23 New Behaviors We Picked Up During Quarantine 

Since I’ve worked from home many years now, my day-to-day life didn’t change all that much when the quarantine hit. I only could find a couple of these “new” behaviors that I relate to.

No 1..not really. I had trouble sleeping at first, but can’t say my dreams have been vivid overall. Dealing with quarantine brain (no 2) has been a bit tricky, I agree. I’m sure you know what I mean. We’ve all been going through it. 

I actually stopped watching sports (no 3) because I’m not into reruns..unless it’s old basketball games from the 90s. Michael Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Rodman, Iverson..yeah, I’ll definitely watch, but I haven’t been.  

No 4 – I’ve always worn sweat pants and hoodies. 

No 5 – No change. I’ve watched ASMR videos for years. 

No 6 – 9: all a no for me. 

No 10 – I’ve always gone through spells of staying up late or getting up early..depends on what I have going on. 

No 11 – nothing changed for me

No 12 – I’ve always been a DIYer. 

No 13 – I did at first, but I’ve been back on my normal intermittent fasting & omad for months now. 

No 14 – not much changed

No 15 – I did find a different way to shop, and I prefer having my groceries delivered now. I will keep doing this in the future, even when covid is gone. 

No 16 was a huge nope for me. Covid actually taught me what is important in life, and made me realize downtime is the most cherished part of my day. Working around the clock, like I used to, isn’t healthy. I don’t abandon myself like that anymore. 

No 17 – I always prepare my own food. Because of food allergies, I can’t eat out anywhere. Those of you complaining nonstop about not being to eat in restaurants..chin up. You will eat out again. Some of us never will, and haven’t been able to for years. 

No 19 – Covid has increased my meditation practice for sure. I used to be a casual meditator. I’d go through spells where I’d meditate every day, and then I wouldn’t for a week. I’ve slowly and steadily increased my meditation practice in the past year, and now I meditate 3 to 5 times every day. 

No 20 – haven’t thought about it. I don’t have a bucket list. 

No 21 & 22 – no change. I’ve always liked puzzles, and I don’t plan meals. I eat the same boring food over and over bc of No 17. 

No 23 – Yes..definitely taking care of myself better these days.
