hello welcome to our channel so usually
our channel we do travel videos but
recently you were doing a lot of videos
from home just because we have a big
travel ban going on right now and you
know it is depressing not being able to
travel anywhere at the moment but you
know we got to do what we got to do to
contain this thing that's going around
the world and so just want me to kind of
like give you tips on what to do while
you're staying at home to be more
positive and to lift your spirits up
because I've actually been enjoying and
staying at home because for the most
part you know I could still go outside I
could take walks and play with my dog
and just practice social distancing but
yeah I am at home a lot so things have
changed and my routines have changed to
kind of you know stay healthy so here
are some tips on how to lift your
spirits up and stay positive during
during this tough time for a lot of
people every day I take a walk it can
just be for 15 minutes it could be you
know for 10 minutes whatever it is I
would just get out there and walk for a
bit because you need that fresh air you
need that sunlight because you know the
sunlight will give you vitamin D and
won't give you some positive energy it's
just all around good and I usually take
kuma I'll walk so anyway so I do that
about three times a day but she walks
like a turtle so I'm not really getting
exercise in here and not getting a
proper walk so I'll take her out and
then during my lunch break
I'll go on a longer walk because I do
want to get my heart rate up a little
bit - yeah definitely take a walk every
day
at least ten minutes a day and it'll
make you it would make you feel better
for sure

another thing that we've been finding
ourselves do more often than usual is
talking to our family in Japan we
typically don't get that much of an
opportunity to talk to our parents in
Japan because of the different time
zones and they live in Japan so the
hours are pretty off but now that we're
all you know working from home right now
it has been a lot easier to chat with
our parents since our gym is closed we
decided to do something as sexy videos
at home and I found this fitness video
called booty by Brent I really like it
it's taken me about an hour to finish
his little program and the great thing
is that his program is up to date and he
specifically made these workouts so that
you can do them at home during this time
even if you don't have any equipment so
I've just been using my yoga mat and my
couch to do all these exercises and they
work my muscles really hard cuz I the
first time I did it I actually had to
take him break for two days because my
muscles were so sore so this is key and
to you know not get sluggish or lazy
every day I think it's okay to be lazy
every once in awhile but when you're in
that sluggish mood every day it's just
gonna get to you so every day I do try
to get ready I will you know take come
out for a walk I'll exercise okay I take
a shower get ready actually I kind of
I'm going to work I'll still dress
casual but this really helps with your
mind you know it makes you more
productive
[Music]
this gets me through every day too
because sometimes I feel like I have a
lot of goals in my head but I just don't
really fulfill them completely so having
you know certain goals written down well
get me to actually complete them so just
you know write simple goals like if it
just be anything from I don't know I got
a you know finish sewing something so
take care of that or you know I want to
really finish that book do that or you
gotta do your taxes things like that
little goals but you can also print big
goals - I'm just saying like if you're
not the type that likes to do goals then
this will the little goals will get you
through it if you have time another
thing which I'm sure all of us probably
have more time than we usually do is to
decorate and easy ways to decorate is
buying like I did this wallpaper which
required only scissors it's like a peel
and stick it's like a sticker really and
that's it so I just cut the size and
stuck it on my wall and if I made a
mistake it could easily come off it
doesn't you know tear tear your wall or
anything or you know take the paint off
it's really cool how easy it is to put
up these wallpapers and if for whatever
reason I don't like it after a year goes
by or whatever I can just take it right
off and it'll just my wall will be back
to normal again so yeah that was like a
fun little project I did recently so
anytime I get a book I'll start reading
it and then maybe read a few chapters
and then come
for once this time since I'm at home at
more I'm going to pick up those books
and I'm going to start them and finish
them to the end I'm not just gonna read
you know half the book I've been reading
The Happiness Project and the Europe yes
play for like two years now and I
haven't finished it so this is my time
to finish those hooks another thing that
I've been doing well I always cook
anyways I really do enjoy cooking but
because there are a lot of shortage and
different types of groceries I have had
to be a little bit more creative with my
cooking it's not too bad yeah but it's
also gotten me to learn new recipes so
if you're kind of eating the same thing
all the time or you're finding yourself
not being able to find the ingredients
that you usually get you know kind of
like look around and see if there's any
new recipes you want to try out back to
be pretty surprised how many YouTube
chat like food channels are out there
blogs and there's a lot of great content
out there so definitely you know if
you're into cooking them that's
something you should try doing I think
it's a great time to start a YouTube
channel if you were thinking about it
before I mean right now there's a lot of
people at home and so they're looking
for content wherever they can and
YouTube is one of my favorite streaming
channels it's there's just so much good
stuff out there and yeah I get down a
rabbit hole sometimes but there is
really useful information out there and
personally you know lately we've had a
youtube channel for a while but lately
you know we've been doing a lot of
at-home videos what we talk about our
experience and what's been going on
while this pandemic is going on and it's
kind of therapeutic in a way where
you're just kind of talking about your
feelings and it's also great to hear
from other people around the world you
know saying that they have the same
feelings or the same things going on so
it reminds you that you're not the only
one going through all this and then also
since you're in front of the camera
you're
most likely gonna get ready so this
forces you to get ready to and I like
that you know it gives me a purpose to
get ready for something so yeah this
YouTube channel thing will definitely
help out and that'll be kind of fun
[Music]
another thing that I've been doing is
catching up on some shows I've been
wanting to catch up on on HBO
Netflix I dig it isn't he plus there's a
lot of like old classic Disney movies
that I've been watching so that's been
you know really nice and also I heard
that Star Wars is going to release their
most recent movie pretty soon so I'm
kind of just waiting on that cuz I
wasn't able to watch that this Christmas
I watch a lot of shows on HBO but if you
don't have HBO you had Netflix there is
a Japanese reality show called terrace
house and if you've never seen that it's
really funny it's nothing like your
average reality show in the States so
definitely something new and different
to check out if you're kinda looking for
something new so many people will need
help right now and this is the time to
give to charity if you're able to
unemployment rate is going to skyrocket
and it already is happening so people
don't have jobs because the hospitality
industry is getting hit hard and so
people that worked at hotels airlines
restaurants they're just you know
tanking right now because nobody's well
first of all there's a travel ban and
then there's a social distancing thing
so restaurants are closing and people
can't work so there's a lot of people
being laid off and they need help so if
you can find an organization to you know
reach out to and see how you can support
them
and if you can donate that would be
great because this will also lift your
spirits up too because it'll make you
feel good to help out somebody else I do
sometimes do DIY projects and now that I
have a little bit more time I decided to
make my dog a dog bed at this beach
towel that I really like but I never
really get a chance to use excite with
near the beach anymore so I decided to
make it don't buy dog cover out of it
and for the stuffing of the dog bed I
just used old blankets towels and stuff
like that to fill the bed so you know
you don't have to go to jo-ann's or
artisan craft store or shop on Amazon to
find material everything that I've done
from my DIY projects I have found her on
the house another thing that I started
to make because of the shortage of mats
I didn't have any fabric but I did have
like cute dish towels that I haven't
used yet so I decided to use that as my
fabric and yeah I just went on YouTube
and I found a ton I guess having I found
a ton of mask videos which someone
didn't seem a little bit complicated and
I kind of narrowed it down and found one
that was pretty easy to watch and then
two copies so it doesn't require any
pattern all you need is a ruler the
fabric sewing machine would help but if
you don't have one you know you can
always just no get get a needle and
thread your salad you know so it
yourself hand sew it I hope these tips
helped you out it has made us more
positive and you know like I said I've
been doing great at home so far it's
been nice there's like you know silver
linings in this you know I
my friends more I talk to my family more
I get to spend time with my dog I you
know catch up all of the things I've
been putting off for a while my
apartment is clean so good that can come
out of this too but yeah hopefully we
don't have to go through this for so
long it could do a lot of us just want
to get out there and a lot of us need to
you know have that human interaction so
yeah just stay safe out there if you
