Well, the world is fighting against the CO-VID19 and we are at home during lockdown period. Don’t you think life is too short to feel bored?  So, how the lockdown period is going for you? Answer to this question may vary depending on your experience right now! However, if you are finding it hard to deal with this crucial time without getting bored, here are few activities that you may consider:

1. Introduce Yourself to PMA Reading!

Now, some of you may say that we are aware of it or we are already reading! But here is the most important thing ‘what are you reading’? If my question sounds little funky to you then take a pause and think why I am suggesting to read a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) book. The digital world is flooded with information including facts and rumors and we are unknowingly grasping it.

As you know, everything goes into our mind has an impact on our thought process. So, if you wish to think right then it is important to read a PMA book that helps you gain the positivity which is much required during lockdown. Beware of sticking to browsing to all sort of negative information that you actually do not need to live life.

2. Return to Your Favorite Hobby!

Remember the time you used to complain about not getting enough time to pursue your hobby! Due to the constant pressure to cope up with modern lifestyle choices, our hobbies were at backseat. Well it is the time to get back to your hobby. Open your Almirah, take out your painting kit and start painting. If you love gardening, what could be better way to do it when you are available at home during sunrise and sunset!

No more rush to meet the corporate deadlines, no bucking up for office and skipping breakfast and no returning home dead tired! It is perfect time to be at peace with yourself and with nature. How about getting back to singing you once used to enjoy much? For dance-lovers, it is the right time to put your dancing shoes on and rock the world. If you are a sport enthusiast, do not let this chance go in vain.

3. Engage Yourself in Per Diem Workout!

Being at home does not mean anyway eat, sleep and relax. Lace up your workout shoes and try fitness exercises at home. You can pick whatever you want based on your stamina and physique. Find the one that keeps you in high spirit and carry on with it. Be it Dancing, Zumba, Salsa, Workout or Intensive fitness regime, stick with it.

Let this lockdown do not result into unnecessary weight gain that you might regret later. Burning calories is important even now as well. Stick to your daily exercise routine and enjoy it. If you were not exercising previously, this is good time to go about. After all, once the lockdown is over, you would not prefer to look heavier. So, get excited to stay in shape.

4. Time to Learn the Long-awaited Skills!

Some of us are really keen to acquire new skills but for one or another reason, we cannot make it possible. If you are one of them, let this time be productive. Finding time in your routine life is a challenge itself. Thankfully, lockdown has made it easier for us. We can choose the skill we wish to learn and simply go ahead.

Browse the online courses and pick the one that goes well with your interest. This way, you will never be bored rather at the end of the day, you will feel more contended because you have spent time in learning something new. Learning keeps your mind active and makes you feel more confident. Happy learning ahead!

5. Luxuriate in Fond Memories!

Most importantly, keep yourself entertained the way you like the most. Play with children, cook with spouse or listen to the stories by elders at home. It is the time to look back at memories and relive those precious moments that you had spent with loved once. Take out the family album and see it with other members and feel the nostalgia. 

Who does not want to spend time with family? Well, the time is right here, make the most of it. Sit, talk, cook, listen and laugh together because it takes years to get your wish fulfilled of spending quality time with loved ones. Share ideas with each other and make every day count like you had never before.
