This
is an intense difficult and a danger time for all of us and we need to fight
against this time with rear positivity against COVID-19. Our PM, Mr. Narendra
Modi addressed the nation about health safety measures and policies which government
has been under taking them time to time. We need to stand together united and
show our power of oneness and discipline to the world at this danger time. We
can convert this crisis into opportunity or productivity by analyzing our inner
skills; we need to think to fight against this illness by staying at home and
enduring our skills to make some productive moves out of this time, need to
think how we can sharpen our self, think to develop the value system and raise
yourself. Therefore, what needs to be done so that we can make some productive
move out of ourselves? I have tried to note down some of the points below,
hopefully it will help you all.....
Inventory your free time
Most
of us do not know where we need to spend our free time. While we may keep a
calendar for appointments or a 'to do list' for the day, we are not always as
aware of how we use discretionary time. It is hard to know how to change until
you know what needs changing. So, inventory your free time by jotting down the
things you wanted to do in your life but never got that much enough time to
explore them.
Discover your interests
Some of us are so busy
and never ask ourselves, what we really need to feel as a human. In fact, many use
busyness as a convenient way to avoid facing the fact that they do not know
what their real needs are. They simply let the natural demands of life set
their daily agenda. If you have been neglecting your needs for some time,
you might find this a hard task. Go back five or ten years and reflect on what
you used to do for fun, stimulation and recreation. If you need to go back as
far as childhood to identify interests, do so.
Revive your skills and learn new things
In this time, we need to explore
ourselves by representing our species and the greatest good things we need to
do to ourselves is to bring back the new ideas, because the world is endangered
by the absence of good ideas. We have plenty of time to revive our
skills and learn new things and by doing this it will add a different level of
confidence within ourselves. In order to learn new things we can join online
distance classes and grab the advantages out of it.

Show your hidden talent:
Many
people have hidden talent but they are not able to show case and sometimes they
do not have plenty of time to explore their talent. Some people may have
excellence writing skills, blogging skills, panting skills, gardening skills
and many more. My point is to just rectify your hidden talent and explore
yourself in this lockdown time in order to just losing your head in a crisis is
a good way to become the crisis.
Commit to enrich yourself
Do you really perform
your best work when you are burned out? Of course not. Nevertheless, our
purpose in life can easily be reduced to survival when we are not re-creating
those parts of ourselves that need renewal. Consider creative renewal as vital
to your existence, not simply a luxury. Make a commitment to yourself that you
will strive for a work/leisure balance. For some, balance means daily leisure,
for others less frequent. However, it should be a regular part of each person’s
weekly routine. Unless you consider it a priority for your life, it probably
will not happen.
Plan your leisure
So here is where you pull it all together. You
have identified areas of interest that you know will enrich you. You have
committed yourself to participate in one or more of these activities at least
weekly. In addition, you see how important creative leisure is to personal
growth. Now it is just a matter of doing it. However, this is the hardest part.
You have to battle the infinite number of conflicts that threaten to strangle
your discretionary time. That is where your time inventory comes in.
Therefore, locate
your open pockets of free time and plan it into your schedule. Treat it like a
non-negotiable appointment that cannot be cancelled unless it is an emergency.
This might appear to be elevating leisure beyond what it deserves. Nevertheless,
that depends on the value it has in your life. You will spend your leisure time
on what you value most. If that is watching television, using the Internet,
talking on the phone, housework, or other activities, then at least do it
deliberately. However, if you seek more than the average, the mundane and the
convenient, pursue those interests with tenacity. You will not regret it.
A
small investment of time might literally change your whole life.....
