Isolate, Don’t Insulate Yourself.

Namaskar,
As I write this, confined to my desk at home, practising staying-at-home, I hope all of you (hopefully reading this from the safety of your homes) are safe and in good health. We are currently passing through extremely difficult and scary times. We have been forced to isolate ourselves from each other, even our friends and neighbours, and stay indoors at a time when the idea of stepping outdoors comes with a huge unpredictable risk. As stressful and depressing as it is to get used to, we need to cooperate with our respective governments and civic authorities, and do what we can to reduce their burden. Because all these stringent policies are meant to keep us safe and healthy.
Putting our lifestyle on hold will be challenging, but it is important that we acclimate ourselves to the circumstances now so that we can all hope to see a healthier, safer world tomorrow. Now is the time to spend this time with family, slow down your hectic pace, relax and do some inner reflection. Even if physical activity may be restricted, you can always keep your mind active!
I would like to share with you some of the things that I have put on my to-do list as I sit at home.

  1. Play board games with the family, which I wasn’t able to find time for before. My pick is Scotland Yard and Monopoly.
  2. Try my hand at cooking.
  3. Clean the drawers and cupboard, things over which I always procrastinated.
  4. Read more books.
  5. Watch the movies and series I have missed! (But avoid too much of it)
  6. Take a look at important and financial documents and rearranging them if required. (Make a list for easy reference.)
  7. Discuss family goals and plan new ones, be it personal or financial.
  8. Keep in touch with loved ones via a video chat app. (Some apps even allow group video chats.)
    You too can follow some of these suggestions, or strike off what has been pending on your to-do checklist. But the important thing is to not waste this time and not give in to boredom and laze the days away!
    I hope and pray that we all come out of this pandemic stronger and a little bit wiser.
    But for now, stay home, stay safe and stay mentally active. God bless us all. May our doctors, nurses and governments find the strength to fight this!
    Thank you
