We know that being in this lockdown can be extremely tough for many of us.

Especially, for people who are stuck far from home and are alone. Or who have a habit of going out every day, every week or every weekend or who have a fear that they will lose their jobs.

But, let’s all come together during this time and help each other. Here, are some tips to be mentally fit during quarantine.

1. Try to get up at your usual routine:

Sleeping for too long can also have a bad impact on your overall health. Try doing some exercise daily. You don’t have to do something heavy. It can be as simple as taking a walk in your garden or your terrace or balcony etc.

2. Don’t worry if you think you won’t have a job:

There are many freshers who are thinking that due to this there will be less job opportunities for them. And there are many working people who are afraid of losing their jobs.

I totally understand it. It’s true that many sectors are in loss. But, we can’t deny the fact that many sectors are blooming too like telecom etc.

If less jobs will be left in one sector then there would be enormous jobs in other. Trust yourself. You will survive it. You are not alone.

3. Learn a new skill:

I hear this quote being viral on social media which says something like this: “If you don’t come out from this lock down with a new skill, you never lacked time, you lacked discipline.”

So, let’s all try to be more productive and learn things which we were never able to learn because of less time. I know it’s hard. But, what if you survive this phase? Won’t you be disappointed in yourself for not making use of it?

4. Spend time with your near and dear one:

Let’s try and spend as much time with our close ones as possible. Let’s share our pains together because there is no one like family. Believe me no one would understand you better than them.

5. Let’s not just keep watching news 24*7:

I mean it’s extremely important to be updated with the latest information. But, these days at whatever time you will open you news channel or social media it will be full of information with coronavirus. Let’s try and give our minds a break from it.

The world is at a halt,
Everyone so scared,
This miniature thing has left no one spared.

Rich, poor ,black or white, it has left everybody traumatized.
But, don’t you worry, this too shall pass,
I know it’s very hard,
More for some less for others,

I know you are stressing out,
But hang in there,
This too shall pass.

I know you are worrying about your family, your kids and your older parents,
But don’t you worry,
We are all in this together and this too shall pass.

I know you are stuck away from home,
and in these times you are all alone,
But don’t you worry, hang in there This too shall pass.

I know your husband or your wife or your child are out there working in these hard times.

I know you might be having thoughts of every kind,
But hang in there, don’t you worry,
We are all in this together and
This too shall pass.

Also, let’s not forget about the policemen, the doctors, the nurses and the sanitary staff and everyone who is out there,
So that we don’t despair.

I know it’s all too baffling, it’s all too hard, but don’t you worry,
We are all in this together and- this too shall pass.

Don’t you worry my friend,we are all in this together and this too shall pass.

So, for most of us living indoors for so much of time can really get to our heads and it can have negative impact on our heath due to decreased physical activity.

Here, I have some tips that will help us to stay calm during quarantine.

1. Let’s try and not watch news continuously.

As soon as we turn on any news channel everywhere we will keep hearing the news about coronavirus. I mean, it’s okay to be updated about the current situation but focusing all our mental energy on it ain’t gonna help.

2. Let’s take out time to do some exercise.

Since, all of us are locked down in or homes. Because of this there is decrease in our physical activity which can definitely have negative impact on our healths. So it is very important that we take out some time to exercise.

There are many exercising and yoga videos available on you tube for free, we can make use of them.

3. Meditate.

Not only physical but mental health also is equally important. In this situation we definitely are worried about the well being of us and our closed ones. But worrying about a situation that we can’t control will not help. Just take the necessary precautions and remember we are all in this together.

4. Eat healthy.

I know when we have nothing to do. We just want to eat. But be extremely careful about what you eat. Avoid eating junk as much as possible. And take proper care of your diet

5. Don’t forget to Stay Connected.

Don’t you think that we are an extremely lucky generation because we live in a time when we are virtually connected with each other so so much.
Let’s make use of that and keep asking oour friends and family about their health.

6. Don’t avoid social media.

Social media is not all bad, it can have both positive as well as negative impact. We can use it to be inspired positively or start any online business.

7. Inculcate a new habit.

As we have a nice portion of time in our hands we can use this to inculcate a new habit. We can utilize time by reading some books, learning to play an instrument, learning drawing, learning cooking etc.

These were some tips that I thought will help everyone. If you know any more tips please do share them in the comments.
