Taking photos is one thing, but creating an entire photo collage is another. This will undoubtedly boost your mood if you are still a novice at photography.

Pick a theme like, street art, or live music to make it more fun and creative for you and before you know it, you’ll be feeling happier in your isolation.
Let’s face it, you have an array of thoughts about a specific topic like sports, or crazy good Netflix shows, that you’re just dying to share with someone.

If you want something to boost your mood, study some poetry and try to write a couple yourself. Whether it be a haiku, sonnet, or simply a couple couplets (see what I did there?) it can be very beneficial for your mood.
You can also write short stories too. Remember, you don’t have to share them with anyone, as long it boosts your mood. And who knows? Maybe you’ll have enough faith in it to submit to the New Yorker.
While you’re confined to social distancing, now is the perfect time to try your hand at being an artist. You can find hundreds of youtube videos on how to draw, paint, and all that jazz.

If you don’t like music, then you’re probably a hellspawn sent here to destroy us all and with that being said, you should be making playlists.
We live in an age where people are constantly looking for the next thing or “catching a vibe” and that’s what playlists are all about.
Creatively making a playlist will boost your mood because it’s going to be all of the songs you like and love. You’ll be jamming out and having a great time during quarantine if you this. Trust me.
I’ve always loved origami art and I might even do this myself. Origami is something you can learn with little to no time at all.
