Well friends we all are into quarantine; sitting at home, not having any work to do and have enough free time to kill. Many of us are criticizing it without realizing the importance of this time. Of course there are problems going on around us and I have sympathy for all the people who are going through problems but many of us who are sitting at home just to break the chain of Corona virus what are we doing at home? Are we making any good of this plenty of free time we have got or not? You can utilize this time to learn and thereby to grow. You can just waste it on entertainment and other useless stuff or you can use it for your betterment.
Luckily Internet is not off and you can always use Internet as a tool to learn and improve. During this free time You can watch informational or motivational videos on YouTube, or you can use other learning apps to learn new skills or some course or new topic you are interested in. One such app that I can recommend is Udemy or Udemy.com I personally use this app. I recommend it to you all also, go download it on your mobile and go through it.
You can also read some good articles on internet or the best thing you can do is read books, books will not only enhance your knowledge but will also motivate you to do better things in life and live a better life. Books are your best friend, books are the best source of learning and getting motivation in life. Those who read books always have an edge over others who do not. If you make good use of this time to grow your knowledge when you are locked down at your home you can definitely make yourself improve and progress.
You can also use this time to develop some new skills, any skill of your interest that you have always wanted to learn but was not able to because of distractions and busy schedule. If you were already interested in reading practice writing articles blogs etc, learn to make videos on YouTube, learn to paint, draw, sketch, design. If you always wanted to do cooking but was not able to do it because of your busyness now you have time to fulfil your desire and make yourself verse in it. You can go into your garage and learn more about car or other vehicles you have at your home.
See there are lots of such new things that you can do and learn in this free time that you may never get again. Realize the importance of this time and don’t just waste it on video games movies TV and other useless stuff.
You can also use this time to gauge yourself, to gain a better insight of yourself. Besides giving your time to your family, to learning and to do other productive or creative stuff, take out some time to sit and talk to yourself to find out what are the things you are lacking in your life and in your personality? What you can do about them? What are the departments of your life profession and personality you need to work more on? What are the mistakes you have been making in your professional and personal life? What you can do to rectify those mistakes? What are the things you need to do in your life and what are the things you need to stop doing immediately?
You can talk about all such things and many others to yourself. This activity will help you gain a better insight of yourself and thereby grow. In fact I would suggest, you all should make it a habit. Even after this Corona thing is gone still Every day take out some time say 20 30 minutes at least to sit alone and talk to yourself.
One important thing When I said sit and talk to yourself, I do not mean any depressing and negative talks. I am reminding this because many people have this tendency of cursing themselves whenever they are alone. Instead, try to motivate yourself during this time. Stay very positive.
Use this time to focus, think and do the investigation and introspection to find out solutions for your current problems and the problems that are going to arise. Try to understand your reality better, and to gain an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.
Try to push yourself to do something good with available time and resources which can help you go a step ahead in life. Try to keep this time very positive; as motivational and fruitful as you can.
Because if you are not coming out of this whole Corona lock-down as a better person with more knowledge, new skills and refined thoughts you can never complain. You never lacked time, you lacked discipline. And It is your Discipline which defines your greatness. Nobody forces you to be great. It is a choice that you make every single day.
