DIY
I can't stress enough about how therapeutic DIY is. Color a bottle and keep it as home decor, make a hanging pot, make a to-do board, and whatnot. Pinterest is an amazing source for DIY ideas.
Cleanse
'Cleanliness is next to Godliness.' and I have never felt it more before. Be it cleaning your house or self-grooming, cleaning in any form gives you immense peace-of-mind. Don't believe me! Well! Try yourself and find out.
Take a day to yourself.
I call it my 'self-care' day. Yes, it is extremely important to take time to yourself and maybe even do nothing. I scrub, mask, and sip in my favorite tea and later gobble over my 'Sunday Special Biriyani'. I don't think or worry at all on this particular day, no matter what!
Find your hidden talent.
I think this is the best time to search and find your hidden talent. Yes, we all have at least one, and discoveries always make us feel happy!! I can bend my thumb and make it touch my arm! What's yours? Can't think of any, well try this!
Start something new.
It can be anything!! Something that you always wanted to do but never ended up doing because you did not have time or were just being lazy. You have plenty of time to think now, why not give that thing a try. I have started blogging! Something I always wanted to do and, I'm loving it.
I also embarked on my way to find my favorite flavor of tea. I try a new flavor every day. It is a ritual I look up to every single day.
Declutter
Cook
Try new recipes, or maybe master your favorite recipe. Find your comfort food and learn to cook it and, then actually cook it. Don't worry if it doesn't taste good!! Understand and figure out what is wrong. Next time you might end up making it better than your favorite restaurant.
Feel it.
Don't run away from your feelings or situations! Rather be there and face it, it makes you stronger. It is okay if you feel like crying, laughing, being angry! Feel it, don't let things pile up. Feel the small, simple things that we often neglect.
Feel it when your partner says I love you, live that moment. Feel it when your mother expresses her love when she worries about your well being or when she gets tired of telling you the recipe the 100th time and, you still call her to confirm every time. Take a moment, one at a time and, live it.
Connect
I never understood how important it was to connect until I was locked in a house for four months. You need to connect to the world and trust me, so many people wish to connect with you as well. All you need to do is start. Listen, and you will always have someone to listen to you.
Catan, Ludo, Scribble, you name it, they are all amazing!! Reconnect with your buddies and make a
ritual, to try all of them out. I always look forward to playing Catan with my college pals and ludo with my family. It's so much fun to see the competitive sides of your parents.
