We can all agree that being outside is expensive. From commuting to swiping cards, and with the thought of debit alerts, your zeal to step out might fade away before you even make it out the door.
But who says you always need to step outside to live your best life? You can thrive in the comfort of your own space while having fun, learning new things, and truly living your best life. Whether your excuse is bad weather, fear of debit alerts, or simply not wanting to put on pants, here are some tips to help you live your best life from the comfort of your home.
Self-Care is the Best Care
Practising self-care is a good headstart to living your best life from home and caring for yourself. Create a self-care routine that works for you. Whether it’s soaking in a warm bath, doing light yoga, or journaling, take time to recharge, reflect and pamper yourself.
Try New Hobbies
Staying in doesn’t mean staying still. Why not pick up a new hobby? Whether it’s painting, knitting, dancing, or even learning a new language, the possibilities are endless. The best part? You can learn all of it from the comfort of your home. It’s as simple as tuning in to music channels; Hip TV (GOtv Ch 22), Soundcity (GOtv Ch 21), and MTV Base (GOtv Ch 45) to elevate your dance moves. If learning a new language piques your interest, explore African Magic’s indigenous channels, available 24/7, featuring various movies and cultural activities. Check out AM Yoruba, AM Hausa, and AM Igbo (GOtv Channels 2, 3, and 4).
Channel Your Inner Chef
Tasty meals are a great companion for staying indoors. You can channel your inner culinary skills and become a chef in your own space. If you’re looking to upgrade your cooking skills or need guidance and inspiration for new recipes, tune in to Tasty Cube Cooking Show every Saturday at 2:00 pm on Africa Magic Family (GOtv Ch. 7), Foodies and Spice every Sunday at 5:30 pm on Silverbird (GOtv Ch. 121) or Usekwu Igbo at 1:00 pm every Saturday on Wap TV (GOtv Ch. 129).
Stream Your Heart Out

Get Lost in a Good Book
Diving into a new world from your couch can be incredibly fulfilling. Whether you’re into thrillers or self-help, reading can help stimulate your imagination. And if reading isn’t your thing, audiobooks are a fantastic alternative – because sometimes you just want to listen while multitasking.
Get Creative with DIY
DIY projects are another fantastic way to have fun and explore while indoors. Gather some supplies and try your hand at a DIY project—whether it’s painting, making your candles, or upcycling old clothes. It’s fun and therapeutic, and you’ll end up with something cool. Plus, imagine all the bragging rights when an ‘outsider’ asks, “Where did you get that?”.
