Oh god! When will this lockdown end? I just can’t be at home anymore now.

Such are our reactions during this time of house arrest wherein we are trapped. If you move out there is the fear of police and staying inside feels like gloom all around. Everyone at home is at the same pace irrespective of the age gap. The adrenaline rush is the same for all, to go out, meet people, and get back to the pavilion. We are all beating about the bush in order to get something to talk about.

Once a friend told me talking inflow brings up new and interesting things to talk about. But now even our mouth is tired talking and brain stuck with a single thought that when will this get over and we would live a normal life.

To make it more adventurous let the cat out of the bag and boom- Our world would change completely after this gets over and it will be a new normal for us but not the same. Hoping things to get back to normal is our way to divert our mind from this change because we fear changes but it is the rule of nature. Home is where our story begins and getting stuck at the same place is like holding the climax thinking of a dynamic ending.

So i have selected 11 best things out of the 100 options available on what to do when bored at home :

1. Introspect and Retrospect- This lockdown has given us the most valuable time with ourselves which is one in a lifetime opportunity. Amid all the chaos in your normal life you wouldn’t get this opportunity because the time runs so fast that we can’t take time for ourselves. Man gets lost in the circle of life and loses his ultimate goal and settles after achieving the temporary goals. This is the time for you to introspect and retrospect and bring a change within yourself and emerge as a new individual.

You can examine your inner thoughts and ideas and frame them in a positive way. It is really important for us to think before we act. One has the time to review your past and learn from the mistakes and make sure that we don’t repeat again. This will help us analyze that where are we going wrong and change the course of it.

Focus on the bigger picture can be done through introspection and we can make out our way to it through retrospection. When you sit back relax and focus then you can fight your fears and define your terms of happiness.
