Third and Fourth Habit That Changed my Daily Life | 5 Habits to Change Your Daily Life

My Third habit has been super helpful for me since I've obviously been spending a lot more time at home like all of us have and that is to separate the different parts of my home for very specific different reasons. So, what I mean by that is for example my bedroom is my sanctuary, where I come to relax to read to spend time with my friend. This is very specific energy in this room.

So, I don't bring my laptop in the room, I don't work in the room, it is a very separate space. I'm lucky that I have an office right outside my door as well but even if you don't even. If you just have one bedroom at least separating the space like one corner, one desk that is where you do all your work. Then don't bring your laptop into your bed just have all of that there and then have your bed as your sanctuary is your relaxed place. Whatever it means for you everyone's gonna separate it differently but that's not for me.

Is it just really helps me separate the different times of the day and the different days of the week even if there's a weekend I'm not gonna go and sit on my desk first thing because it's a weekend so I'm trying to relax so I've actually brought a desk into my room specifically only to paint or draw or to just relax and do something creative. So in my room is creative chill relaxed mode outside is the business model and downstairs in the living room kitchen. I spend time with my roommates and Louie my friend and my friends and we eat dinners together and it's just so helpful for me to separate the spaces and to have a very different intention with why I'm going into each space. I don't know it's just really helped me and it might help some of you all as well.

My Fourth Habit is something that I would call a bit of a silver lining during all this difficult time and what I mean by that is one of the things that has happened inevitably. During the last few months, most of our routines have been disrupted so the way that we work, the way that we live, the way that we exercise, the way that we eat pretty much everything has had to change and one thing that for me has changed.

For the better is the way that I shop so before this some of us may have been making purchases out of habit or routine for example going to get a coffee every day at our local coffee shop or going out to restaurants all the time or even just going into clothing stores and just browsing and sometimes buying, something just because you're there not necessarily because you need it, but now because we don't really have all that time to just be in random places just spending money out of habit.

What's happened for me is, I've been so much more mindful about how I spend my money where I spend it and what I'm purchasing because before I buy something. Now, first of all, I think, do I actually need this, do I really want it and I think about where I'm getting it from I'm trying my best to support as many small businesses as I can so before this I may have just gone straight to Amazon and searched for something and actually last week I did.

I went on and I started typing something out and then I stopped I was looking for a new blender for the house because our last one broke and I was typing out exactly what I was looking for and I stopped. I was like wait a minute, what if I go to their website so I went to their specific website and they're having a Mother's Day sale so I got like 20% off so I paid less than I would have anyway and I all the money that I paid went straight to the company instead of to this big massive company that takes a lot of money from a lot of different businesses so it just made me feel so much better than I was supporting this company directly and it saved me money and this is just a little example of being a little bit more mindful just literally taking like three seconds to think before buying something or ordering something.

Because a lot of us are trying to save money right now, we're trying to support small businesses and I think people are just buying less and they were because we're taking the time to be a little bit more mindful and not buy things just out of habit and instead only buy things that we actually need.

Second Habit That Changed my Daily Life | 5 Habits to Change Your Daily Life

Today is my Second Habit which is bulking my work together or batching. What that means is doing similar work together at the same time and you do this already in your everyday life. For example, I am sure that you do all of your laundries at once instead of washing each one of your pieces after each time you wear it. Because it just makes more sense to do all your laundry in one go versus 5 or 10 minutes every single day and if you think about it we do this in so many different parts of our life but when it comes to working I definitely found it more difficult to naturally do that.

So, what I would do before I started batching my work is I would be for example editing my articles and then I would get an email notification pop up and then I'd go into my email and answer that email, and then I would think about having to upload my articles, posts on social media platforms. Inevitably, I get a little bit distracted and I browse for a little bit and then I'm like no I have to go back to editing my article and so within an hour I've kind of done two or three things instead of doing one thing really well.

So, what I try to do now is pick either specific days of the week or time of day that I do this one thing and I don't do it any other time and it just helps me say super focused because I also know this is my only time to do this work, so let me make sure I get it done instead of just thinking. I'll just get to it later a couple of examples I have.

Friday's are my admin days normally admin stuff really stresses me out because if I'm in the middle of a creative project and I think about having to make a phone call or something I don't want to do it at the moment because I know that it'll break my flow but then it stresses me out because the back of my head that I have to make sure I don't forget to do it. So, what I've started doing instead is whenever I think of anything like that I put it on a list, and every Friday first thing in the morning I look at that list.

So throughout the week, if I think of random little things I don't have to keep thinking about them I put on the list I know that it's gonna get done and every Friday all those things get done and I have a specific time that is allocated for doing my admin another thing that has really helped me. I have been scheduling my posts and honestly, this has been such a game-changer for me. it is amazing if you have a business account you can auto-publish your posts or if you want you can also get it to push notifications for you.

So, again you can still get the posts completely ready do all the captions and everything and then you get a little notification for later to remind you to post and by the way, if you're not sure what time of day or what days of the week to post later also has an amazing analytic section and it will look at your Instagram and it will look at what time of day each day of the week your users are most active and this is a simple thing that if you didn't know this.

If you were just posting it the wrong time what if most of your followers were asleep or just not active and you didn't realize but you could be reaching like double or triple the people if you just knew what time was best to post later is also really helpful for small businesses and entrepreneurs and my mom's business is the perfect example for this she owns a jewelry company and I know that she's really been stressed out about social media in the past about not sure what time of day to post or just at the moment having to remember to post when she's in the middle of like making jewelry which is what her job really should be.

So, now using later she can plan all of her posts literally spend one day and plan months’ worth of posts right all the captions do all the hashtags and then not even have to think about it I know that this has helped her so much. Just relax and relieve some of the stress around your business.

First Habit That Changed my Daily Life | 5 Habits to Change Your Daily Life

Today, I want to share with you few habits that I've recently brought into my life that have honestly changed my life, that I haven't read anyone else talking about them and I can't express to you how much they've changed the game for me, in terms of, how productive.

I am now happy, I am how much more at peace, I feel and just less stressed out so I really wanted to share them with you because even if you could find one of these things that you resonate with that. You could implement it in your life and you could make it even just a little bit better than it would be worth it.

The first habit that I am super excited to share with you is something that is such a tiny shift that takes about five minutes every night and has honestly changed my mindset more than anything else. And that is writing out five things that I'm proud of myself for every night I tend to be hard on myself that I have very high standards and I'm definitely or have been very achievement-driven and have had quite a linear definition of success. So, quite often, I would go to bed and think about all the things that I didn't get to my to-do list or the things that I did in the chief or didn't do enough of and I'll go to bed angry at myself for not doing enough that day.

So, I started recently just writing out five things that I'm proud of myself for every night and the first two or three tend to be pretty achievement-based still like for example writing blogging articles or clear up my email inbox or something and are great. But what I find is after those first two or three the last couple tend to be a little bit more difficult to come up with and my first thought usually is well that's it. I haven't done anything else today like I have nothing else to write but I make myself write five so then I have to dig and think about other things that I'd be proud of myself for and that's when I find the beautiful little things.

That, I so often, just look past like for example the other night I wrote that I was a really good friend to Louie and I did some things to help support him like cooking for him or helping him with or something like that another one could be looking out for a friend maybe calling a friend because you know what they're going through a rough time and sitting on the phone with them for a few hours and being there for them and just listening for them.

These are beautiful things that I am really proud of myself for that I do and that I can be the best version of myself and be a good friend and daughter and all the things and I think it's so great to go to bed every night focusing on these kinds of things instead of thinking about all the things that I haven't done and honestly such a simple thing after just the first three or four days I can't tell you how different I felt and throughout the day as well as again this is what happens the gratitude journal that you end up thinking about the things you're grateful for throughout the day and this has happened to me where now I'll do something even something small and at the moment think.

This is a good one, I'm gonna write this to my journal tonight and so throughout the day, I have these little moments of achievement and of being proud of myself especially around things that I wouldn't have normally counted as achievements beforehand. So, this has just really changed my life and if any of you struggle with some of these thoughts then this might really help you.

Glacier National Park in Montana, USA | Most Beautiful Park in the United States of America (USA)

Glacier National Park one of the most beautiful national parks in the United States of America (USA) and the starting of fall is a perfect time. The colors are starting to change and it's just so beautiful, I will pass the whole day here, I am on the bus because it's very windy outside. If you live in a city but even if you don't just spend time consciously in nature to go on a walk - even to have a picnic to like to sit in the grass to touch nature, it's so important.

I live in New York City, I lived in major cities and I can totally feel when I haven't been in a park or on a hike or anything in a while I feel like my soul is like missing something. If you're not going out today set yourselves a challenge to spend some time in nature and especially try to feel the grass take your shoes off put your feet on the ground and just connect back with nature.

I am at the next viewpoint, all day but this is hard too. It is pretty incredible, I just noticed that waterfall. We just got back, it was a very long drive back actually, fell asleep on the drive, there so I didn't really realize how long it was but it was like two and a half hours. The sun's actually about to set soon but I wasn't allowed to touch the grass we were going like the vegetation. There was protected, so I'm doing it now it's just one of the best feelings honestly.

About earthing, if you don't know what that is, it's like connecting to the earth by actually I think maybe it's like specifically hiking barefoot and I did it in Hawaii and it was amazing. But it was just a great reminder that even if you're not like going on a hike even just standing on grass and just connecting to the planet feels so good. If you go out and you go into nature today please let me know also through email. Hopefully, just being a little bit more mindful throughout your days about being kinder to yourself to each other on the planet.

Anyway, the Sun is getting close to setting, last night the best part about the drive back that even though it was very long is that so many of our favorite people were in the van so we had so many great conversations and yes it was great anyway. I just went to come in at the end and quickly say that one I wasn't able to describe as much at Glacier National Park cuz because we went on like a guided tour and they only stopped at 3 viewpoints and we were only like I need to be a point for about 10 minutes and then we left and last time Louie and I went.

Actually, we were with Kari and Sam and we were on a road trip made our own car and I feel like if you have your own car then you have so much more control over where you stop and how long you stay and stuff. So one I would highly recommend if you go to Glacier National Park, go in your own car, rent a car or something. You'll have a better experience I think than a guided tour. I wanted to tell you something that kind of blew me away when I read it and I talked about some of the benefits so it's scientifically proven that after just 30 minutes in nature you will reduce stress and anxiety boost, creativity improve your eyesight, boost your immune system, improve your memory and cognitive function and more which is crazy so I know that sometimes it can be easy to forget. Consciously spend time in nature.

How to Stay Calm And Relax | Tips to Stay Calm And Reduce Stress

The details of my tips started to spend some time in nature and there are so many studies out there on what being in nature does to our nervous system. How it helps us relax some of you may be even live in nature and maybe know what I'm talking about just going outside and looking out and listening to the birds and breathing in the fresh air going on a hike it all makes such a difference. I personally live in a city so I have to consciously choose to spend time in nature and go out of my way.

Go drive somewhere to a hike or something but I really try to do that as much as I can because if I've been in the city too long I can really notice how much more stressed out I get. So, if you also live in a city or somewhere that doesn't have direct access to nature then please make an effort to go into nature as often as you can also if you do live in a city and you can't get into nature as much as you would like something that I've done. We have filled our room with plants and basically our whole house with plants but especially our room if I close the door in our room and I close the window, so I can't hear the cars anymore then I just look at the plants sometimes I'll even put on as nature sounds so I can actually feel like I'm outside in nature and I can just look at all the plants and they bring me so much joy tip number

The next tip is to clean your space and to make it feel welcoming and organized because having a messy home will automatically stress you out again. There are so many studies here on what a difference it makes just to have an organized uncluttered clean space. You don't have to do a massive deep clean if you're trying to relax I mean some people find it really relaxing other people don't but even if you can just put some things away. Like if you have a lot of things out on your desk or on your dresser or something just putting things in a drawer putting things back in their place and having just what your eye can see look organized and clean honestly again will make such a big difference.

Now the next tip is to do some stretching or yin yoga. If you don't know what yin yoga is then let me tell you it's basically like a much slower type of yoga where you're doing one pose and holding it for a few minutes sometimes several minutes and what that does is it allows you to have a super deep stretch. I love doing yin yoga I mean any time of day really but especially before bed you're basically doing really long opening stretches and it feels so good but if there's a moment that you're feeling stressed just taking the time to stand up stretch and just move your body a little bit whatever that looks like to you.

The next tip is to eat slowly and mindfully and this is something that I have to remind myself of all the time because I tend to eat in front of my computer. Whether I'm still working or even if I'm watching something I like to be able to watch something while I'm eating to help me relax but I know that it's not helping me really relax because I'm trying to do too many things at once and it's also not helping me enjoy my meal.

I notice that I tend to overeat and I tend to not really taste the food as well. I know that I could, if I'm doing something at the same time so just taking a moment to enjoy a meal eat it really slowly like taste all the flavors within the meal, and again it will help your body just slow down and feel calmer.

Last but certainly not least. I'd recommend that you write whatever that looks like to you whether you want to call it journaling or if that word kind of stresses you out just write whatever is on your mind whatever you want to write just getting things out of your head and onto paper can help you feel so much more relaxed. Recently I've gotten into journaling as well. If I like crossed stuff out and it didn't look good and now I've just released all expectations and I just write whatever I want whether it's a poem or like a diary entry or whatever it is I'm feeling that day it just feels so good to be able to write it out.

These are my tips to help you to stay calm and feel relaxed which will surely reduce your stress and most of them you could do every single day but you could also keep them in mind at the moment when you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed remember to breathe or to stretch or to go for a walk or any of these things really if you have any more tips or things that you do to help you relax please let me know.

Top 5 Tips to Relax And Reduce Stress | Five Tips to Relax And Reduce Stress

Top 5 Tips to Relax And Reduce Stress | Five Tips to Relax And Reduce Stress

I am going to share with you 5 tips to help you relax and reduce stress. I know this year was incredibly stressful for most of us but really one of the best things we can do to stay physically healthy is to stay relaxed and calm and reduce our stress as much as possible. I personally tend to stress out very easily and these steps that I am about to share with you have really made a huge difference for me. So, I hope that they can help you too.

The first tip, I have for you is the most simple and most accessible and it's absolutely free. It is to breathe and to breathe deeply when we're most stressed out we start to breathe really shallow. If you think of someone having a panic attack the way that they breathe is right and that is sending stress signals to our brain that we are in danger. We need to get as much oxygen as possible we need to pump our adrenaline and to escape the lion that is chasing us that's really how our biology is built but if we take the time to breathe just like that deep and long then we're sending the message to our brain that everything's okay.

We have the time to take a long deep breath there are no lines chasing us and everything is okay so just a simple switch like that just taking a moment to breathe will really send those signals to your brain and relax your whole body also. If you count as you breathe then you are basically pausing your thoughts because you're thinking about counting so you can't really be thinking about anything else and one good breath that you could try is the four, seven, eight breath where you inhale for four hold it for seven and then exhale for eight. I don't know about you but honestly, I feel so much more relaxed, and if you want to just do that three or four times anytime that you're feeling stressed it will literally take you one or two minutes but it will completely change your state.

The second tip, I have for you is to go for a walk and moving your body feels so good especially. Since so many of us have been spending a lot more time indoors. Lately, I love to go for walks every day and I will either listen to an audiobook or a podcast, or if I really want to shut off and really relax I won't bring my phone at all and I'll just be present and enjoy what I'm doing and I'll really notice all the little things like just walking around my neighborhood.

When I have walked the same streets so many times if I don't bring my phone with me I am so present and I find beautiful flowers everywhere and just little details that I would have missed. Otherwise, a bonus here as well would be to walk with a pet and I get to borrow our roommate's dog and take him on a walk sometimes and it's so nice. I mean just being around animals brings so much joy anyway and it just gets me out of my head.

The third tip, I have for you is something that actually Louie introduced me to I don't know if he made it up or if he read it somewhere or heard it somewhere but basically, it's this exercise that we do sometimes alone, sometimes together where we will close our eyes and just imagine that everything that's stressing us out that we're worrying about is solved so we take turns to do this and we make sure it's important not to just say it but to really feel it in your body. What would it feel like if what you were saying is actually true so, for example, some of the things that I said last time where my inbox is at zero I have no emails anyone is waiting for a response from me, and honestly, as I'm saying it I can just feel like my shoulders go down and I just relax knowing that that isn't like nagging me in my brain anymore or I'll say something like my mom gets out of surgery and everything went well and she's up on her feet a couple of days later I said this to the last time we did this exercise and she went through the surgery and she's doing great now. But it was something that was worrying me before and just at that moment having that exercise going back and forth and just it feels like you're releasing all these things that you're carrying on your shoulders and also when you feel something like when you say that something is completed or done or it's gone well and you feel it in your body you're actually much more likely to make it happen so there you go a little extra manifestation tip in there as well.

The Fourth tip is a game-changer. It is to take a magnesium supplement and honestly one of the reasons why you might be feeling stressed out that you haven't even really thought about is that you don't have enough magnesium in your body. Some of the benefits of natural vitality calm are that it reduces stress releases tension and relaxes your muscles and really you can feel that happening. You've probably heard about the importance of calcium and many of you probably even take calcium supplements but how many of you are taking magnesium supplements.

Something that I didn't know either and a lot of you probably don't know is magnesium and calcium are like two sides of a coin and calcium will help you get excited to get your nerves excited while magnesium helps calm them down so if you have too much calcium in your body then your nerves are getting over-excited and you don't have enough magnesium to help calm them down.

How I take it is by first activating the powder in about two to three ounces of hot water and once the fizzing is stopped I add it to a juice smoothie or tea, you can add it directly to cold drinks too but it will take a little bit longer to activate so I'd wait at least 15 minutes before drinking it. I got a bottle of natural vitality calm in my bustle wellness box so I thought I'd share it with you.

The fifth tip, I have to help you feel calm and reduce stress is to unplug, put your phone on airplane mode, leave it in the other room, close down your laptop, and just try not looking at screens not only will it help your eyes relax but your whole body will relax. We are expected to be reachable 24 7 now and if you don't reply to a message within like an hour or even less like 10-15 minutes, people start worrying about where you are why you're not replying to them which is crazy.

Because, if you remember back in the day we used to put away messages because we would say you know going outside, so I'm not on my computer, so I'm away now but because we have our phones with us at all times, we are always on and connected really nothing is that urgent and everything can wait 10 minutes or an hour or two hours so try it. Let's try to unplug and look at screens a little bit less.

A little a bonus tip here as well is to turn off notifications on your phone at least for the only notifications I have on are for messages but I turned off all the notifications from my social media those are definitely like the least urgent thing and only turn ones on if there's something that you really don't want to miss.

My Favorite Things To Do in New York at Christmas Time

My Favorite Things To Do in New York at Christmas Time

My favorite things to do in New York City at Christmas time is to visit Bryant Park. The other market you have to check out is that Bryant Park and this is not just a market they also have ice skating in the middle and I think it's actually free. If you bring your own skates, if you don't have your own skates then it's like 20 dollars to do ice skating I think. But if you have your own skates then this is the best system while there might be fewer vendors here than at Union Square.

At Union Square, more room to walk around, and the vendors that are here seem to have some of the most unique and special items. There are so many incredible gifts here like really unique things. A lot of things I've literally never even seen before. So if you're looking to buy presents, if you hear of this time and customs these markets they're just incredible. One more thing, I'm not sure if the Union Square has any food stalls, it didn't actually see any but Brian Park has a lot and there are so many different things from ramen to pickles to Donuts and everything in between and I honestly wish I was hungry because there's a lot of really good-looking stuff a lot of vegan options too which is awesome but yes if you do come here make sure you come hungry.

There are so many options, they have vegan hot chocolate and they have dairy-free whipped cream I am definitely getting one of these, yes I cannot believe I found a vegan hot chocolate. I am so happy that I've been looking for this all day, grab yourself a treat and head to the ice skating rink to watch the skaters since the rink is free if you bring your own skates there's a lot of seasoned skaters that like to come here which makes it really fun to watch.

Next, of course, we can't forget one of the most well-known things to do, go see the city's biggest Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. This is definitely one of the most crowded spots in the city but I think it's worth it especially when you turn around and get to watch the yearly light show at Saks Fifth Avenue.

if you don't mind crowds then you can't miss a quick stop at Macy's to check out holiday lane one of the best places to find decorations for your home and to mail your letters to Santa. I like to come here and send my letter to Santa and when you do that Macy's will actually donate $1 to the make-a-wish foundation up to a million dollars. So, it's kind of like a cute little tradition to do. Just fair warning, it's very hectic in here but if you don't mind that then you can come back.

Just one floor down to find Santa land a Christmas wonderland for kids of all ages where you can make reservations and meet Santa, make sure to take a look at the window displays on your way out America's very first Christmas windows were actually at the 14th Street Macy's store.

Back in 1874, since then, all of New York's major department stores have been creating show-stopping holiday window displays. Today, most of the impressive windows can be found walking down Fifth Avenue different ones stand out each year so just go for a walk and find your favorites. And for my family's annual tradition while you're here, you have to try and see a show on Broadway.

New York is known for having some of the world's best productions and there are so many to choose from. It's the perfect thing to do to get out of the cold and an experience you won't forget. Besides everything on this list, there's so much to see and do in New York during the holidays that I'd honestly recommend just walking around and keeping an eye out for anything festive and if you get lucky enough to get snow on your visit the whole city comes to life and you'll feel like you're in a movie.

Best Things To Do at Christmas in New York, USA | Christmas Celebrations in New York

It is no secret that one of the best places to be during the holidays is in New York City after living here for years and coming back every December. I have put together a list of the best things to do at Christmas in New York.

First on the list is to walk a lot, New York is definitely a walking city and one of the best ways to take a break from the cold is to have a meal at a festive restaurant, There are so many restaurants all around New York that are decorated so cutely for business so obviously. My favorite tefillah, every year there are more and more restaurants and cafes that decorate for the holidays so I'd recommend just keeping an eye out as you walk around. There are a few that are known for going all-out but you'll most likely need to make a reservation

There are amazing restaurants everywhere and it's very nicely decorated for Christmas but also a store here that is a Christmas store open all year round it's called Christmas in New York and it is fully Christmas. If you like to collect ornaments in real place that you travel to or you just want to like walk into the most Christmasy store of all time this is for you.

If you're not feeling the festive spirit yet just walk into the store Christmas in New York is the perfect place to find ornaments souvenirs and pretty much anything that has to do with Christmas even if you're not looking to buy anything it's definitely worth checking out.

There's nothing better than cookies at Christmastime and New York has no shortage of the world's famous bakeries to that you may have heard of our Dominique Ansel. The inventor of the cronut, the cookie shot, and the blossoming hot chocolate among others as well as LaVon bakery where you can find arguably the best cookie in New York City. If you're looking for a vegan treat I usually just pop into a plant-based restaurant and at their dessert menu, Pease Food cafe is one of my go-to next up.

I have to mention Central Park, a walk through Central Park is beautiful any time of year and the perfect break from the craziness of the rest of the city. I went out for a walk at Central Park and obviously I love going there in the summertime but I don't usually think to come here in the winter. I guess, I just always assume that it's cold and obviously it looks so different all the leaves are gone but to be honest it's still really beautiful and it's just even if it's cold out it's just nice to get out for a walk and Central Park is huge and it's beautiful with leaves or without it's still really nice and especially if there's snow when you come here then you have to come for a walk.

I can't even tell you how magical and beautiful it looks when it's covered in snow but even with no snow some really nice walkthrough. Central Park is beautiful any time of year is the perfect break from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. You could spend hours walking around all the different paths in the park. With the changing seasons, there's always something new to see, you'll find one of New York's largest ice skating rinks in the park.

You will find a few cute spots to get a drink and in the southwest corner at Columbus Circle the smallest of the three-holiday markets in the city. To check out one of the biggest holiday markets head to Union Square there are a few different holiday markets that pop up in December but one of my favorites has always been against work with over a hundred and fifty artisan booths there are so many unique gift ideas to choose from the love of this market features, a ton of local craftsmen and just small business owners there's like a card in front of every little stall that says where the things are made and just like a little info about the store, it's just such a cool way to highlight like we'll do all the cool greeting people in New York I love it. Just beware it does get crowded but it's one of the best places to support local small businesses.

As it's getting later you might want to take a break and grab a drink. There are so many incredible Christmas themed bars around the city perfect for anything from a cup of tea or hot chocolate to a festive cocktail. Undoubtedly one of the best things to do in New York no matter what time of year your visit is to see the city. There are many options from going to the top of the Rockefeller Center or the Empire State Building but my favorite thing is actually just to visit a rooftop bar you don't have to wait in line. It's free to go up and you can get cozy with a drink or a snack while looking at the beautiful view.

Best Places of New York City, USA during Coronavirus Pandemic

Central Park attracts 40 million annual visitors making it the second most visited tourist place in the U.S summer of 2020. It looks very different though for the first time most lawns are empty especially during the week if you travel to New York. This is one of the best places for you to visit with 843 acres of paths, there's a lot of space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air while staying safe.

The day I spent in the city end of august 2020, the subways were open and working. There were definitely significantly fewer passengers making it easy to stay socially distanced. There are stickers every six feet to help create space and masks are mandatory to ride. Everyone, I saw on the subway was wearing a mask it's definitely still the easiest way to get around the city but if you don't feel comfortable using the subway or you want a more scenic route, definitely check out the city bikes.

You can rent them from pretty much anywhere and not only are they a great way to travel but also a great way to explore. If you plan to visit times square, the busiest block in New York and possibly the world was almost empty when I was there usually you'd find yourself shoulder to shoulder with tourists. As times square boasts 42 million visitors annually making it the most visited tourist attraction in the U.S but with most restaurants and stores closed in the area and with very few tourists coming to the city it felt a bit like a ghost town.

The biggest shock for me though was seeing Grand Central Terminal at peak rush hour. It is the largest railroad terminal in the world attracting 21 million annual visitors and again it was by far the most empty I've ever seen. Grand central station in the middle of rush hour, this is so crazy while I don't personally recommend traveling for fun yet if you do find yourself in New York in 2020. Stay safe, follow the rules and take in this beautiful city in a way that has never and may never be experienced again go for a walk, take a seat in a park and enjoy the extraordinary peace found in the city that never sleeps.

Many streets have been partially closed off to create space for outdoor seating at restaurants and if you want to go shopping, some stores are still open just with new limitations and max capacities. The signs of support and solidarity all over the city are so inspiring New York has always been my favorite city in the world and seeing how everyone is coming together to not only survive but thrive during this time gives me hope if you do come to visit soon I hope you feel that too you.

The New York City, USA During Coronavirus Pandemic from My Eyes (Initial Information)

Today, from New York City. I'm currently in the central park there's like no one around which is why I don't have a mask on. I'm very far from anyone but I thought it'd be super interesting to write for you today because New York right now during the coronavirus pandemic is unlike any time I've ever seen it before. I used to live here, I've spent a lot of time in New York City and I've never ever seen it this empty.

It's maybe like a once in a lifetime experience to see it like this and I thought it might be interesting because I know a lot of people travel to New York. It's probably one of the most traveled to tourism destinations, so I know that the city is opening up more and more and as people are starting to travel a little bit. I just wanted to let you know what New York City is like right now and how you can stay safe because while the city and many places around the world are starting to open up this pandemic is still real and we still have to be careful and be smart.

If we do choose to travel, so as I said, I am here for a best friend's wedding and to visit my family which I hadn't seen in nine months. So, I am personally not yet just traveling for fun but obviously, everyone has different situations. And if you do choose to come to New York City at any point over the next few months, hopefully, this article will help you that you need with you everywhere are a mask. I actually have a couple in my bag and hand sanitizer as many of you may know new york got hit hard by this pandemic up until September 11th, 2020, New York City has had over 241,000 cases and over 23,000 deaths despite this new yorkers are extremely resilient and hopeful and you can really feel that at New York entered phase 4 of reopening on July 20th.

This includes the reopening for low-risk outdoor arts entertainment and media production. The city has really adapted and nearly everyone I saw was taking it very seriously giving each other space and wearing masks. If you do travel to New York always look up the rules area depending on where you're coming in from people returning to new york and particularly from 19 high-risk states are being asked to quarantine upon return to help slow the spread of the virus. So, I think not only are there significantly fewer tourists like if there are any tourists in New York but also a lot of New Yorkers have actually left the city some permanently.

Some people I know have rented houses or something outside of the city since they're working from home. Anyway, so they'd rather be in nature than be stuck in like a tiny apartment in New York. So, yes not only are there significantly fewer tourists but there are a lot fewer new Yorkers here as well during any other year.

Places to Visit in Washington DC, USA | One Day Visit to Washington, USA

Today, I will share the Places to Visit in Washington DC, the USA with all my traveling experience to reach Washington. My one day visit to Washington starts now:

I am going to take a bus to the nearest Metro station from the local bus terminal in the USA. Today, I was supposed to get up early around 6 am, but yesterday night I slept quite late. I will catch a bus and then the metro to reach Washington DC. It's 8:30 am. While going inside, someone came and asked me to stop I am scared of all the men in 'uniform' !. Everyone seems like a Cop Though that person was security personnel from the PRTC, the bus operating agency. I went inside, asked for the ticket. Actually, the Smithsonian metro station is the nearest one for most of the attractions in DC So prefer the Smithsonian station If you are staying outside the Washington city area. As it is quite costly to stay there.

The suburbs of Washington DC have quite cheaper hotels. After I went inside, I started talking to the person on the counter. He was happy to see me. Thereafter, I gave him a bill of 20 USD to purchase the ticket but he said he didn't have change I did not have smaller bills than dollar 20 then he did a favor to me, he gave me a free pass, What a decent way to start the day!

Here are fare vending machines, I charged my smart card, now, here are the peak and non-peak hours fare its 9:25 am after 5 minutes off-peak time will start I will have to pay around 5.40 USD in peak hours whereas in non-peak hours the fare is just 3.85 USD for Smithsonian.

So, why shouldn't I wait for 5 minutes to save money! Sharing this with you so that you also keep this in mind if you are here If you visit DC, you must be taking a metro. You can also get a ONE DAY PASS If you want to ride a lot in these metros, then take the pass, it costs 14.75 USD. This offers unlimited rides for 1 day on all metro rails and metro buses in Washington DC. You can charge your smartcard with the pass.

Now, I have reached Washington DC at Washington Monument. It's 3 pm and I am still near the Holocaust Museum. This is a big museum. I could not see anything. You need at least 5 hours to visit this property. This place is near the National Mall. Now I reached the Washington monument. This dedicated to the first president of the United States of America (USA), this was completed in 1884. It was the tallest building in those days. It is still the tallest monumental building in the world 555 feet.

Capitol Building, Most of the iconic monuments of Washington are located in this area. Hire a bike to visit all these places. That's the best way to explore these places. Probably this leads to the White house. I am happy to be here, it's 4:45 pm at the White House.

Now, I am will visit some other places. Everyone in the USA said that tap water in the USA is drinkable, now I used to refill my bottles from the places where I stay. It's 6:15 pm and I am tired now. Walked too much since morning.

National Mall, I thought this would be similar to a shopping mall. This is a must-visit place its 3:30 pm. Now, I will go back to the hotel. I hope whatever I shared about my one day trip to Washington DC was interesting for the readers also.

Best Places to Visit in California, The United States of America (USA)

It looks like my dream comes true, I am very excited because I am going to America. I will share the whole activities I have done during my stay. I will share the Best Places to Visit in California, The United States of America (USA). It has been a long day I have not slept for the last 24 hours. It looks like I am performing like an actor who is acting on a set and in our imagination he is out of the country.

We're staying at Burton apartments in Beverly Hills and we're just hanging it's actually a really nice area where were hanging right now but obviously it's like that terrific I just want to tell you the known glamorous part of traveling like how do people travel and look cute because this is a problem but anyway we've managed to Beverly Hills. We finally made it into the apartment I cannot even explain how happy and clean we are.

How amazing, so we have had our nap we just got ready and we're heading down to the Grove. I'm gonna go to the Cheesecake Factory I think we tried to book but apparently, he can't book. They were wearing what is pump up pedal on up evidence is probably like the long sleeve underneath and then some jeans and then I just put my little boots so it's like a little headband from Kmart.

2nd Day, Everyone it is Friday and we're ready for the day we're going to a Rodeo Drive today Los novios up like babies like 11 hours and so necessary yeah black. We came back to Cheesecake Factory where we had an appetizer. It's huge how I got the salad, I'm ready to go out for a first night in LA. Well gotten to a place cool nightingale.

Fun in The United States of America (USA)

I don't know if it's just the way things work over there but every single Club would go in we would end up getting bottle service and not have to pay for anything so it had been really really great hence why we were going out tons because we were just taking advantage of the very fact that we're getting free drinks everywhere.

Another Day, morning really went we party but we also went to dr. braids now she saw I actually Bob bit last night. What a well not safe to mention we had another big night. It was just so fun, it's Sunday so we're heading to the flea markets and it's a bit overcast but it's really hot that's why not really hot but like I don't have to wear a jacket which is good.

Not very impressed like not too sure why politics, these are amazing like it's very like a standard market in Australia it is Sunday night it is the first night that we actually have decided to not go out. We're just chilling out we leave tomorrow for Santa Monica south to the Hollywood Hills. It was just so gorgeous I could do not recommend going at all Hollywood bullets Ari Hollywood stars whatever a walk of fame sorry guys don't recommend going. We are in Santa Monica I was literally only 25 minutes from where we were and our hotel is so nice so I'll just give a quick tour of Hampton Inn Suites in Santa Monica so this is what our room looks like we were stressed.

We're going to Hollywood, we were driving up the hills in the semi-nice houses. I'm very excited, we made it to wherever we are the Hollywood sign is back they definitely thought I was going to be like sitting on top of the H but apparently, this is a fight that we took but it's really nice is it Wednesday or Thursday and last night after we went to whatever to yesterday I would eat the hike so who did the - we went to Rodeo Drive and then we went out again last night got for him like 2:30 didn't go to sleep until 4:00.

it's now 10 o'clock I'm actually going to Universal Studios so I'm really excited. We made it to Vegas, where the reception was so nice and the view is actually insane. The Sun is setting at the moment I feel the Eiffel Tower was lit up before and all the fireworks were happening but I mean sounds like fights all the fountain things were happening but so pretty I feel like I'm literally back in Paris boy staying at the Eiffel Tower.
