Staying healthy during physical distancing

Physical distancing is challenging for all of us. Current recommendations from the New Zealand Ministry of Health recommends maintaining mental and physical health during self-isolation by:

• Finding ways to relax
  
  
• Keep moving
  
  
• Making time to do the things that make you feel good

Keeping Busy with Hobbies

Keeping busy with projects is one way that many of us at Bunnings help combat the challenges of physical distancing. If you are looking to connect with others or get ideas, you can join workshop.net.nz -  our friendly online community for sharing home improvement, D.I.Y. and gardening questions and inspiration.

Whether you are a beginner looking for a helping hand or accomplished on the tools, Workshop is a great place to learn, share ideas and get inspiration to tackle your home improvement projects.
