corona isolation 10 – Milena Chopova
Usually I have breakfast together with my neighbour, but since everyone is gone back home: here is my dining table for one. Image credit: Milena Chopova

As my yoga classes are now held online, I start my day by doing yoga and morning meditation. This helps me to stay calm and grounded during these uncertain times. Image credit: Milena Chopova
corona isolation 9 – Milena Chopova
I have set the goal of starting an online course a while ago but unfortunately could not find time for that. But now, in self-isolation, I have the time to learn a new skill. Since I have a great passion for marketing, I started a Google digital marketing course. Image credit: Milena Chopova

Since my study-buddies are gone, this little bear is keeping me a company during the exam preparations. Image credit: Milena Chopova

Something I learned during quarantine: studying in bed isn’t really productive. Image credit: Milena Chopova
corona isolation 6 – Milena Chopova
After I realized that studying in bed is very ineffective, I got a new study space. I try to keep it clean and empty to not distract myself. Another tip: try to study during the day, since the daylight helps to focus. Image credit: Milena Chopova

All of my tutorials are now also held online and the biggest advantage of it: you can wake up five minutes before the tutorial starts and listen to the teacher in pajama from the comfort of your own sofa. Image credit: Milena Chopova

I’m making sure to get enough fresh air, by having daily walks in Kralingen. There are usually no people around. Sometimes, I get to observe very beautiful blooming, and I hope we will all be able to chill outdoors soon. Image credit: Milena Chopova
corona isolation 3 – Milena Chopova
Another skill start I started to practice during self-isolation is playing the piano. I also found a very nice app that offers a 1-month free subscription during quarantine, so I hope to be able to play my favorite melodies in a while. Image credit: Milena Chopova

As my food consumption has largely increased while I am staying home, I try to keep myself fit by using resistance bands, so far, it is going good. Image credit: Milena Chopova
