By: Asma Shums,
It has been many weeks since we are all confined to our home. Currently, we don’t know how long this quarantine will last and when will we finally be able to head out. So lets try and make the best of the situation we have at hand.
According to the experts at the World Health Organization, one of the best things we can all do is stay healthy and fit. The virus can be lethal to people who have cardiovascular problems, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercising and healthy eating can help with all these conditions and better prepare us if we were to get sick. A lot of us are out of work or working at home and I believe this is the time to invest in the health of your body. It is a great way to support our physical health, mental health and to strengthen our immune systems to handle this virus. There are many youtube channels with home workouts that can be easily followed by everyone at home!
While we may just want to become lazy during this time, it’s our habits that will keep us sane and connect us back to our regular lives. Starting a new habit (like reading or exercising) is easier if you designate a space for the specific activity. Leaving reminders around your house to make starting the habit easier (like keeping books near your bed, desk, or tv). Finally, even if you can only devote five minutes to a new habit every day, that’s a great way to start.
Having said that, taking a break from being productive to regroup your thoughts can make the whole quarantine situation a little more bearable. It breaks the monotony and it ensures that you am not neglecting your mental well being. I know it is too much to expect everyone to be cheerful these days or even put up a brave face. Our emotions are often not in our control. What is indeed in our control is to take a break whenever needed and to hit a pause on our thoughts. This is the least we can do for ourselves, and for sure we all deserve it. Find a balance in your lockdown 🙂
