Best Lockdown Activities to Help You Chill

Looking for lockdown activities to help you chill out? Maybe you’re wondering what to do when bored at home, or you’ve had enough of Netflix and chill, or maybe you’re stressed out after spending too much time in lockdown with a house full of people. Whatever it is, we’re here to help you properly chill with our unique lockdown activities and online classes. 

Whilst it’s become more and more apparent in recent months that we all need to take a step back and look after our wellbeing, there’s never been a better time to take care of our mental health. If you’re currently being faced with a self-isolating situation or you’re not sure how to handle lockdown, we’re here to help you see things in a brighter way.

Staying at home for long periods of time can become really draining, especially if you’re on your own, or on the flip side have loads of people and kids living in our pockets day in and day out. Living the same routine can be detrimental to your health, and although you want change, it can be difficult to simply change things up. Whilst you might be feeling pretty sluggish from sitting on the sofa for too long, it’s really important to keep your brain active and healthy, which goes along with your eating habits too. 

Luckily, we’ve adapted our classes and workshops to bring you online classes so you can still be sociable and learn new skills from the comfort of your own home. If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new skill like making your own candles or learning how to make pottery, we’re here to help you do it. 

As we pride ourselves on bringing you the very best virtual classes from local British artists, teachers and foodies, we’re here to help you handle lockdown like it’s a breeze in the park. If you’re feeling like you need a bit of a break from your family, housemates or just life in general, it’s important to give yourself time to relax and de-stress from lockdown life. 

Hobbies are more popular than ever as it’s a crucial part of your mental wellbeing, so we’re here to introduce some lockdown activities you need in your life. 

Learn to cook new dishes

Eating the right foods is so important for getting through lockdown so you won’t feel tired all the time from eating too much junk food. Whilst it’s easy just to grab the first thing you can find in your fridge, you’ll instantly feel so much better when you start cooking the right foods. 

Although it can be hard to get yourself out of a cooking rut, we’re here to help you find new recipes which will make you feel so much calmer and more chilled as the day goes on. If you’re new to cooking and have no idea what to do when it comes to whipping up some amazing creations, our talented foodies will be there on the live streaming to guide you to something amazing!

Bring some warmth to your home 

If you’re reading this in the dark and colder months in England when you can’t just pop along to the pub and sit by a cosy fire, we recommend bringing some warmth into your own home. Firstly, turn off the main lights in your room and opt for lamps instead. They really help with creating a calmer and more chilled atmosphere. 

One of the cheapest and easiest ways to bring more warmth into your home is from simply lighting candles. Soy candles are by far the best for the environment, and we recommend you learn how to make candles at home with our DIY candle making kits. Whilst there are many candle making courses in England to choose from, you can get started now with our live online classes. 

If you’re concerned about sourcing candle making equipment when you’re in lockdown, we will happily send you one of our candle making kits crafted from local British candle makers in time for when the class starts. As you sit in the comfort of your own home, you’ll learn how to make beautiful candles with like-minded people on the other end of your computer. Best of all, you’ll be able to continue making candles for your loved ones which make excellent presents. 

Make pottery at home

If you’re looking for a new hobby in England which is really creative and something most people have never experienced before, learn how to make your own pottery from the comfort of your own home. 

We know what you’re thinking… How can you make pottery at home without using a pottery wheel? With visions of that scene from ‘Ghost’, making pottery doesn’t have to be complicated. 

As one of the most popular online art classes on ClassBento, get out of your comfort zone and learn to master the art of pottery making. Our online pottery classes will help you develop a whole new set of skills that you’ll not only feel chilled in lockdown, you’ll feel like you’re doing something really productive. We’ll send you all of the materials in a pottery starter kit straight to your door so you won’t need to think about the logistics. 

If you’re looking for new things to do at home during lockdown and you’ve had enough of sitting around, then look no further. ClassBento understands you need some help with regaining your own identity by diving into new online classes and being proud of the creations you go on to make.
