It is required to stay mentally and physically fit during the lock down due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. It is rare to see so many major countries of the world being shut down for such a long period of time.
People are now staying indoors, working from home, washing their hands more frequently, avoiding socialization, and much more. The major change in lifestyle can have a drastic impact on the well being of an individual. This being said it is the need of the hour to address the mental and physical health of the world’s population.
How to balance the sudden change in lifestyle?
There is always the possibility of people running into denial when it comes to changes. Somewhere in their mind, they feel everything will go back to normal someday. So instead of embracing the change, they are constantly thinking about when will things get back to normal. This state of being in denial can lead to a deteriorating effect on the mental well being of the individual. I request the readers to give themselves a small pep talk about the situation they are facing right now. Learn to accept it, as is better to accept and thrive.
Acceptance of the situation is the first step to a healthy mind. The next thing that anyone can do is fix a schedule. Always be ready with a plan B. You must realize that the entire world is going through this situation and it is not just you who has to deal with a lot. We are all in this together.
Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome.
Prepare a plan to achieve your goals with the ongoing conditions. Take up online courses to brush up your skills to replace the lost internships. Learn some new set of tricks to solve your favorite mathematics problem. Write down your feelings in the form of poetry. Maintain a journal depicting your life in Quarantine. There can be many things one can do to feel good about them.
Don’t feel bad about being lost in your journey.
This change is not easy. You will see people doing a lot of things for fun in their homes on social media while you are barely able to cope up with your normal healthy lifestyle. It is completely okay to feel this way. It is advised to give your mental health a big priority during this time. Focus on the better aspects of life such as you getting to spend some quality time with yourself. Feel every breath pass through your system. Look at the nature outside your window. Go to the terrace and have some evening tea while embracing the view. Give yourself a facial with home ingredients after following the YouTube channels, etc.
Start a Workout Plan!
If you feel you can, then start a workout plan. Don’t stop your physical activity if you were active before. Browse through the internet, there are many fitness instructors taking live online classes for the people in their homes. You would need zero equipment and lots of determination to get through these sessions. Exercise releases hormones that make you feel better and brings in a sense of accomplishment.
Start A New Hobby!
Try to do something like reading a book, baking a cake, clicking pictures of yourself, meditating, trying out new recipes, calling up old acquaintances, starting a blog, watching some content on platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix, etc. While binge-watching or constantly sitting on your couch; move around your house every once in a while.
Always remember- Health is Wealth!
Take care of your health by hydrating enough and eating a diet rich in nutrients. Do not binge eat oily food as it coupled with prolonged sitting can have a negative impact on your health. Have some fruits or juices regularly. Get some sunlight. That is nature’s best way of rejuvenating, it will keep your body and mind healthy.
Always remember that the entire world is in this together. It is a big change for everyone, do not feel left out. Talk about your issues with someone, share your stories and create change in a better way. It is okay to lose track of your normal life for a while. Do not be hard on yourself for that. Embrace every feeling- good or bad, learn to accept and then try to improve upon. Life comes in a box of surprises always be prepared to accept and embrace with grace.
