Find Order Amidst the Chaos

This sudden outbreak of a highly contagious virus has turned the entire system of our human race upside down. Pure reason toppled by sheer melodrama- our life in a nutshell during pandemic.

                   

It was erratic and unexpected, yet the bitter truth is that even the super power nations have kneeled down in front of it because uncertainty is the new trend and 2020 is the best example. The unexpected changes brought by coronavirus outbreak affect people all across the globe and from all walks of life. It’s not about the disease but the consequences that lead to sadness, frustration, depression, economic upheaval and self-isolation. The list just goes on and on.
       
During this time of worldwide unrest, sky rocketing unemployment, it’s hard to not feel helpless, it’s hard to hold onto positivity. But there are always two sides of every coin. This might sound like nonsense; you must be thinking she’s some freaking optimism junkie. But this is not the case, there are certain activities that uplift your mood and motivate you. All you need to do is to introspect, to find yourself.
   
             
         
And this is the best time to invest in you. Rather than bingeing Netflix and scrolling through Instagram day and night, you can leverage this opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills.

Use this time to do things you have always wanted to try but have never had a minute to spare. This could be anything that make you happy, learning new language, trying new recipes, spending quality time with your loved ones, reading a book or journaling. It's okay to spend time on yourself. You needn’t be productive 24×7.Come on we’re all human. You need to learn to embrace yourself and your surroundings. Be grateful for every breath you take because, Hey! Someone out there is in a hospital struggling for it. This is tiniest yet most concrete example to make us realize countless of blessings bestowed upon us.

           

It’s okay to heal and take some time for yourself. Nature is also healing in a beautiful way. Somehow, this virus is teaching us to slow down, to free ourselves from this materialistic world for a while.

It is possible to tackle this grim scenario in a healthy way. We will get through this. It won’t be easy but this too shall pass.
