The coronavirus has sent countries all over the globe into lockdown. People are advised to stay at home and venture out only when necessary. People are going through the lockdown in different manners. Some are plopped on the couch binge-watching their favourite TV series, while others are taking to social media to record their daily lives, and some are simply sleeping through the day. However, this is no time for panicking over the latest news or lamenting the closing down of your favourite restaurant. Instead, you can use this time constructively. So if you are thinking about how to make the most of lockdown, here are a few quarantine tips and lessons that you can learn –

Realise that you are not permanent

Times like these make us realise how vulnerable our lives are. And this realisation leads us to take stock of what we are doing with our lives and make changes to better it. One way to do this is to pen down all your goals- small and big in it. Now measure up how on-track you are to achieving them, taking into account the life you are living. In this way, you can consciously adjust and realign your life to reach the life you want.

Know that your health is important

This features in almost every quarantine guide out there. We are more conscious of our health and that of our loved ones than ever before. We look up lockdown guides, we make sure that our environment is sanitised, we make a conscious effort not to touch high-touch surfaces, and ensure that we eat a healthy diet. Some of us are turning towards exercise, meditation, exercise and yoga to keep fit at home. This is the time when we realise the importance of these practices. Make sure to make these habits a part of your life even after lockdown.

Stay in touch with your loved ones

We make conscious efforts to keep in touch with our parents, friends and loved ones over phones and the internet in the lockdown. This not only strengthens the bonds but also brings us closer to people. In our regular lives, we hardly find time to reply to messages or call people. However, this lockdown has us religiously replying to messages and calling people. Continue this habit even after lockdown is called off.

Share what you have with others

The lockdown has people scrambling to stock up on their daily needs. However, there are stories of people going out of their way to help the poor and needy. The poor and the homeless people do not have enough for themselves. Daily wage labourers, too, have lost their source of income in this lockdown. You need to start thinking about others. Do not overstock and do not hesitate to help if you come across such people. So, if you are thinking about how to make the most of lockdown, you can do your bit and help such people who are in need.

These are some of the quarantine tips that you can follow to make the time you spend in lockdown worthwhile. Instilling these lessons in yourself can lead to a more fulfilling and happy life even after the covid-19 lockdown is called off.
