You’re self-isolating at home, but it’s no vacation. It’s important to know how to stay connected during self-isolation without spiraling.

Well, it’s safe to say no one saw this coming, right? What a crazy couple of months this has been. Like most of us, I’ve spent my days inside my house, staring out to the blue sky, wondering when this will all be over and how to stay connected during self-isolation.

In the meantime, we should focus on staying connected with our loved ones and ourselves. So many of my friends have told me they feel like they’ve disconnected from everything around them and are struggling to feel normal.

How to stay connected during self-isolation

People all around the world are dealing with feelings of loneliness and anxiety during this time. But there are things you can do to get yourself feeling more connected to yourself and others. It’s not going to be easy, and there will be times when you just feel like throwing the towel in.

Keep pushing through and use these tips to help you create balance in your life. Friends, family, and partners are important people in your life who can help you get through this time and vice versa.

It’s a challenge, but possible.

#1 Take advantage of technology. This doesn’t mean you need to scroll through Instagram for hours on end. But you should take advantage of the apps and platforms available for you to connect via your smartphone or computer. If you want to chat with your mom, who’s in self-isolation, video call her so you can see each other.

#2 Schedule social time. You may be working from home, and that means it’s a slippery slope between your personal and working life. I mean, it’s all happening in the same place. But don’t let your work become your entire life when self-isolating. You need a break and should make time to socialize with your friends and family online.

#3 Switch up your screen time. It’s easy to get stuck on one platform or way of communicating with someone. But if you want to “spice” things up, play around with the different ways you communicate with your loved ones.

You can send an email one day, and then do a video call the next. Create a dinner date with your long-distance partner or have a Netflix party with your friends.
