PART - 2 : 15 THINGS TO DO WHEN QUARANTINED

Continue reading the next 5 things to do while quarantined:

6. WRITE A JOURNAL:

Consider writing a regular journal or a personal diary. You could call it "Quarantine diaries". Write about what you are doing each day and how you are keeping yourself busy by entertaining yourself. You could choose to write them at the end of every day or as and when some exciting events come up. Imagine, how interesting it would be to look back at those records, say 20 years from now, recounting what surely would be a historic period in our lives.

7. TAKE TIME TO REFLECT:

Taking time to reflect means slowing down enough to stop, enjoy the adventure and figure out what is really important to YOU. Learn what you like and dislike. Time spent in self-reflection is never wasted- it is an intimate date with yourself. All of this reflection may actually help you plan for the future. I learned something this weekend, in my reflections. You can have ideas about what you want, but cannot plan your life to perfection. Some of the most important decisions and opportunities will come to you in ways that you never predicted.

8. SPEND TIME WITH GOD:

Now that we have a lot of time, we could utilise it as our "quiet time", "devotional time", or whatever you want to call it. Deep down, we all desperately desire to connect with our Creator. And He wants to connect with us. Figuring out how to connect seems difficult, though. After all, he's huge and mysterious and greater than us. So how do we, in the words of Philip Yancey, "reach for the invisible God?". The answer is simple enough: We make it a habit. The truth is we can find a few minutes to be alone with our Creator everyday, sounds cool right? But, we have to be intentional and consistent just like we schedule an appointment on our calendar.

9. LEARN ABOUT YOUR CULTURE:

"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the souls of its people"- Mahatma Gandhi
Try to understand and analyze your own culture. Cultural intelligence is a new concept and builds upon the idea of emotional intelligence. Learning your culture, also helps you understanding others'. The world is becoming increasingly diverse and includes people of many religions, languages, economic groups, and other cultural groups. It is becoming clear that in order to build communities that are successful at improving conditions and resolving problems, we need to understand and appreciate many cultures, establish relationships with people from cultures other than our own, and build strong alliances with different cultural groups.

10. GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR INNER ARTIST:

When is the last you've painted or sketched something? If it was years ago, it either means you lost interest or didn't find time. If it is the latter case, well congratulations you have time now! Get a white sheet, brush, some paints and get started. It's time to let go of self-doubt and allow your personal creative expression to shine through. Not sure what to paint?
