Connecting with God - Youth

Top tips to survive lockdown:

1. Make a timetable for the week

It can be easy to just ‘do nothing’ and be unproductive, so make sure that your day still has routine – this is great for our sleep pattern and mental health.

• Do some cooking

Baking and cooking are great for the soul – it’s doing something new and you achieve something really good and tasty too!

• Do some exercise

This gets us out of the house and exercise is so good for our physical and mental health

• Host a quiz

Get onto zoom with family and friends and host a quiz for everyone – helps you stay connected and is lots of fun!

• Go for a walk

We are so blessed to have good weather during lockdown, get out and spend some time admiring God’s wonderful creation.

• Read a book

This helps us to unwind and is especially good to do before bed instead of browsing on our phones.
