It’s very important to stay home and stay safe. Some people don’t have the luxury to do this, they are out there in the midst of the chaos; providing medical care, serving and protecting, securing and sanitizing and doing what’s necessary to assist in controlling the outbreak of the virus; COVID-19.
Being “home” is getting unbearable, however, it’s time to be with Self and for self. When life was fast, all self desired was attention, more care. As we suffer this Pandemic, the government are doing their part to keep the economy strong and to regain all that was lost. What are we doing as individuals to combat this pandemic?
Practice Internet Productivity
The internet is most accessible to us and unlimited information is in our palms. Do not limit yourself to social connections and fake news. The internet is a platform which provides us various ways to make us learn more about the things we are passionate about, it has tools to develop new skills, there are articles and books to take us to places we dreamt of being, lessons we missed in the classroom and some, just never taught to us. Tap into new and interesting skill like Microsoft Excel, Graphic designing, Coding, Blogging etc.
Learn how to be a better student with an app like Quizlet. Quizlet is a mobile and web-based study application that allows students to study information via learning tools and games.
Fiverr gives freelancers, like me, a source of income. This online app provides a platform for freelancers to offer services to customers worldwide. Services such as Voice Overs, Writing, Graphics, Instrumental tracks, Translations etc.
Skilled workers, such as Hair Dressers, Designers, Barbers, Technicians and Artistes, take the downtime to develop your craft practically and theoretically. The internet is accessible to you, use it productively.
Children are off from school and parents need to spend more time being creative with their young ones; Arts and Crafts, Board Games, Educational Apps and Websites such as Trivial Pursuit, Cross Word Puzzles, Scrabbles, PBS kids etc. It's all just a click away.
Get Strong to be Strong
We must limit our access to ´too much information´, especially if it’s developing fear and anxiety. We need to avoid, as much as possible, the overflow of fake news and timelines that are feeding unproductive (to you) activities.
Being there for your loved ones is important, however,´Your´ mental, physical and emotional strength is necessary, if you want to be strong for others. We need to take pride in protecting ourselves. There are activities we can indulge in that will take us through, practices beneficial to us such as Yoga, Reading Exercises, Cooking, Gardening, Workouts, etc.
There is a pandemic that’s cancelling all our events and big plans for 2020 but let´s not forget, regardless of the chaos, nature gives hope, the universe is not failing us - Spring is still happening- Don´t Forget to Spring Clean!
Instagram, Podcast, YouTube, Facebook, they are all crowded with people making a change, inspiring, instructing and even entertaining. Subscribe to the people whose influence has meaning to you, whether it makes you live better or laugh louder. Control your information, choose your teachers, locate your classroom and walk in and out as you like- that’s the beauty of the internet- you rule!
A new world is unfolding, adjust your life, take care of yourself and others, be kind, be vigilant, be safe. I pray for your remarkable resilience. Love and light my dear.
