How to Survive Lockdown Boredom

On March 19, 2020, California issued a statewide Stay-at-Home order becoming the first to put an entire state into lockdown because of the Pandemic brought by Covid-19. All residents were mandated to stay at home except to go to an essential job or shop for essential needs. Then the rest of the states followed and that was the start of a long battle with what we now call “lockdown blues” across the US and soon the rest of the world. 

According to the US National Library of Medicine, stress, anxiety, depression, and a feeling of helplessness are some of the consequences of the prolonged lockdowns and restrictions. Even without the studies of experts, anyone can tell that the change in how the world works right now is taking a toll on our mental health. 

The Pandemic is already causing numerous negative outcomes in different aspects of society like the economy, healthcare, employment, travel, and many others. And these lockdowns that don’t seem to end are massively contributing to the adverse mental health impact on our citizens. Not until long ago, discussions, forums, and acknowledgments of mental health issues were a big taboo, but with all that is happening around us, that also has changed. 

There are many ways to somehow ease the boredom brought by these lockdowns and today we are sharing one of our favorite activities during these uncertain times, GARDENING. 

Gardening has tons of benefits like stress reliever, mood booster, immunity booster (thanks to all the Vitamin D from sun exposure), healthier mind and body, source of food (for those who grow fruits and vegetables), self-esteem builder, and of course, a more beautiful and bountiful garden is a guarantee!
