The breakout of Corona Virus has meant that we all have been confined to our homes. It has been a dramatic shift in the schedule for most of us who were used to an outgoing life but this has also been the time for us to reflect on our life. It is the time to revisit our priorities and probably reset them.
Staying indoors has meant spending a lot of time with family which was not the case before in our fast paced life. This pause, however untimely and unexpected it is, should be used an event to re-energize ourselves . The fact that I am writing this on my blog for the first time after 2018 can be the best example! :)
There is so much that can be done productively at home to improve our self. And there is always the right time to do that.
What matters has sharply come into focus. Family, Love, Health, People, Community, Generosity and most of all self awareness about a particular situation. Talking to parents and having their complete attention is like having childhood back again. Simply priceless!
We can do so many productive things while at home. Here's what I can think of:
- Reading books which many of us purchase but do not read or leave it midway. I think we can do that and take up writing once again which can be in any medium like blogs, journals or Quora.
- Pursuing a hobby which doesn't require you to go outdoors like Painting, Cooking, Paper Crafts etc
- Doing household chores and even doing it completely and giving your Mom/Spouse some rest.
- Yoga and Exercises at home. Keeping yourself physically and mentally fit is always important.
- Go for some mind games like Sudoku or Chess or any other game which challenges your mind.
- Talking to your loved ones who stay far away. There's nothing like that. Call up that friend whom you haven't spoken to in weeks since you were busy.
- Eat well nutritious food to stay healthy.
- Learn something new by opting for online courses on the subject/hobby of your choices.
Haven't included Web series because that's by default everyone's choice.
That's it. Hope you make the most of these times. Be positive and keep learning and improving.
