The only difference last year it was all new so there were difficulties to accept the change but same time it was a whole different kind of situation. It was new experience, refreshing one, relaxing one, fearful one so we all did all new things. we all fearfully passed that time but with some hopes , by looking at brighter side of situation. but now what is happening is hundred time worst and this lock-down is frustrating, a very depressing one. but we have to survive this one too

2. Home Plantation

Plantation is something one should do irrespective of lockdown or not!! but many of us can not find time due to our busy schedule so its time now! Home gardening is very trending habit but if your new to this just start with money plant. you do not need to invest much. just find empty bottles or cracked pot or old tins, fill the water and put one stalk of money plant in water. you can simply ask to friends or neighbor to give you by cutting it from one of the root. if you are good at it you can start growing home vegetables from been.

3. Reading: 

Rather reading whole bunch of negative news, fake whats up to dos and not to dos its better reading some good quality books by well known authors. As per your interest and dreams you should choose a book. you can choose self improvement books or novel or spiritual ones also helps. reading a book engages you to different world, it lowers anxiety and also helps to upgrade thought process and increases confidence.

4. Yoga/ Zumba dance

There are always discussion about which technique is better. The better is the one which makes you happy. I wrote two option because there are two kind people. One who finds joy in music,high beats and pumping heart rates and other ones who likes peace, calm and space with self. you can start learning both the thing by tutorials or online classes. Practicing Zumba or yoga will help to keep health good in longer term. And this is the time to cultivate good habits. Zumba and yoga helps to be fit and to lower anxiety, feels heart with joy and peace.

5. Talk to your people

Yes, that's most important. Your people means your loved ones, children, parents, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, old friends, new friends , teammates, housekeepers. These are testing times. Many might be feeling lonely at home, many are anxious, depress and helpless. Talking over phone with people within your circle will help you to feel fresh and certainly will help others. Try to talk positive things, creative ideas, share your learning, avoid depressing talk, sometimes just be listener if some one needs ear. This practice will help you be a better person and also helps you be more socialite in real terms rather than virtual falseness.
