They say what you are doing for 21 days becomes a habit, and we have this time now. For some, it is a forced lockdown, but you need to change your thinking.

Meditation and yoga will not only keep you active but will help your mind calm down. If you are anxious, which most of us are, certainly practising meditation daily before sleeping and after waking up is important.

4. Make most of your reading Make most of your reading list list How many times it happens that we buy tons of books from a shop, but we don’t read them. It's because as soon as we reach our destination, we get busy with our work, and completely forget about it. However, now that we have some free time on our hands, it is time to start reading those books. Here are my favourite picks: Think and Win like Dhoni, OSHO- Ek Omkar Satnaam, Spiritual and Meditation, Inferno by Dan Brown, and so on. Kids: Moreover, include your kids in this activity. Make them read one chapter a day, and ask them what they learn. Not only will they have something to do, but they will learn new words too, which will certainly improve their vocabulary.

We cannot meet our friends or family, as we need to beat the coronavirus outbreak. However, that doesn’t mean, we can’t stay connected with our loved ones. There are quite a few people who are living alone, as their families live in another town. As a result, it is more important to stay connected. So, fix a time every day, and talk to your friends and family using video conferencing. Also, kids would love to see their grandparent’s every day virtually. WhatsApp, Google Duo, FaceTime, and Skype are all free apps and can help you communicate your new ideas, lifestyle, and anxieties about the lockdown.

6. Do something for the animals Do something for the animals One of the side-effects of coronavirus lockdown in India is that people think animals can spread COVID-19.

In other words, they are going hungry. So, leave out food for them, if you can. · Don’t play pranks on animals. · Layout granules and water for birds. It’s the least we can do.
