The Covid-19 outbreak has undoubtedly brought the world to its knees but people are trying their best to make things work even in this dire situation. The governments have imposed self quarantines on people and so many people are continuing to work but from home. While under normal circumstances most of us enjoy getting to work from home, doing it day after day for long periods of time can start to get daunting. So, here are a few things you should keep in mind while you're working from home.

- Take care of your health both physically and mentally. Don't just sit in one place in one position all the time; move around a little too. And remind yourself constantly that this is temporary and you can move past this. After all, like everything else, this too shall pass.

- Opt for a few stretching exercises at home since it can help combat any physical restraint issues you might be facing and it'll also help improve your mood and keep you mentally fit.

- Make sure to stick to your normal schedule and working hours. This will give you the time to do other things and will also help you cope once you get to return to work.

- Most of us travel far for our jobs so we often end up getting a workout before we reach our workplace. So, make sure that you opt for some moderate exercises before you start your day to get your brain and body started as well.

- Eat the right kinds of food to help boost your immunity and keep you protected from developing infections. Get enough sleep so that you don't feel groggy during the day. Remember, getting eight hours of sleep can really work wonders for you.

Follow these tips and most importantly, stay positive.
