Since we're all hunkering down and social distancing right now to combat COVID-19, many people are getting creative and finding new ways to connect with friends and loved ones. We can't stress enough how important this is – being socially isolated can increase feelings of loneliness and stress, and even affect your immune system.
At Satori Flats, we encourage you to connect regularly to your loved ones, even if you can't do so in person. Thankfully, we live in modern times, so it's easier to do than ever before! Here are five ways to virtually connect with family and friends:
1. Host a virtual party.
Satori Flats apartments are gorgeously designed and spacious, making them the perfect spot to host a party. But until you can host a get-together at your place, you can always host one online! Use video platforms like Zoom to "invite" friends to your party where you can all sit, chat, enjoy some special treats, or even play games like charades or Pictionary. And if you love gaming, try looking up some online multiplayer games for even more fun together.
2. Schedule video chats and group phone calls.
Even if you're not up for formally hosting or attending a virtual party, there's plenty of opportunity to sit down on your couch and chat with a loved one. Whether it's text, Skype, FaceTime, or some other application, use some sort of telecommunication tool to check in on friends and family.
3. Join a virtual book club.
Virtual book clubs are nothing new, and now's the perfect time to join one! You can create one informally with your close loved ones or find one online so you can connect with people from around the world, all while sharing your love of literature.
4. Exchange funny and uplifting stories.
The news can be a bit overwhelming right now. To help each other laugh and ease some stress, share cute videos, funny jokes, and uplifting stories with your friends and family.
5. Watch movies "together."
Netflix Party allows you and a group of friends to stream a movie or television show at the same time so you can all watch it together, even when you're in your own homes. It also comes with group chat so you can stay in touch during your viewing parties.
