Hi Friends!
Hope you are doing fine.
As you know that the whole WORLD is facing issues due to the Covid-19 Pandemic situation.
In Dubai as well there was a lock down like how it was in any other part of the world.
I cannot tell you how relieved we were when we got to know that lock down has been released and we can go out again for a walk freely.Of,course,we are not going out frequently .It is just that I was so done with the lock down situation that's after being in the lock down situation for almost three months.
So,if you are in a similar situation & lock down is either lifted or going on,please read this post and I really hope these tips will be helpful to you in some way.
Today, I will share some important tips so that you can at least cope-up with this whole situation which
has brought a lot of uncertainty in our lives.
1.Stop getting overloaded by the social media news related to Covid 19.Be on track,however,don’t overdo it.
2.Get up early and do regular tasks at home as you used to do before the lock down.Remember how you used to dress-up for office or going out or to stay at home ? say no to pajamas (during the day time,wear it ,however,don't wear it all the time).Dressing up will be helpful as it will give you confidence.
3.Have a plan ready to be executed/day-routine for each day & by the end of the day be aware of next day’s tasks.
4.Eat well. If you like exercising/yoga/meditation-do it as per your Normal routine.It will make you feel better.
5.It’s ok to feel low for some time but then you have to get up and get going as life is very precious and you should take advantage of the truth that you have got a beautiful life to live.
6.Say positive things to yourself.Motivate yourself.Lett the negative thoughts pass,don’t hold it within yourself.let it go.
7.Do not procrastinate thinking that things can be done next day.It will become a bad habit.Learn to change your habits and try to grasp a good habit.
8.If you wanted to change something about you and felt stuck with your daily life-routine,you can at least try doing it .Eg. You wanted to learn chess or you wanted to know interesting facts about anything .Learn new words/take up online course that could help you boost your career/future.
9.Spend time with your family and enjoy.It will de-stress you.engage in cooking,planting,with kids related activity.Do video call to your friends & relatives.Share your feelings & listen to what they have to say.Help your family members and boost their faith that things will get better.by exemplifying what you’re doing on a regular basis or what they can do and boost their confidence.
10.Pay attention to your sleep routine and try to improve it. Please sleep on time so that you can start your next day will some much needed energy.
11.Try not to expose yourself too much to tv/phone/laptop and instead indulge in some productive activity like reading a book or something which will make you feel that you utilized your time in an effective manner.
12.Do not forget to sanitize & keep cleanliness around you.Do shopping online responsibly,be careful and either you leave the package out of your reach for three days and sanitize before opening the package.
13.Plan & dream of your future and start preparing yourself for it.Be thoughtful & ambitious.Have a goal and do not deviate from it.
14.Social media is an overwhelming place,refrain from comparing yourself with other’s life as it might affect n worsen your mental health issues.

Bonus point:Get some fresh air,see sunset,see sunrise,see rain drops through your balcony only or window.Admire the beauty of Mother nature.It will give you some sense of freshness and you will feel really rejuvenated.I promise.
