While I was having my morning tea, my thoughts wondered to what is happening around us. It led to calls and messages which I had received in recent past to check how I am doing and holding up during this Lockdown Period, and my answer or response had been “doing very well”, “I am happy to be at home” etc. and this response surprised the person who asked, while their response was totally opposite. I wondered Why?
I wonder Why people are so concerned about being at home during this pandemic.
I wonder Why people are complaining so much about staying at home with your family... staying at home SAFE.
I do not call this “ISOLATION”
Isolation is what the people who have unfortunately been exposed to this Coronavirus and suffering and hence Quarantined or ISOLATED are experiencing.
I think people who are healthy and still protected or not exposed to CoVid-19 should Stop saying that they are bored and upset that they can't leave the house. Ask those who are in the Hospital... they all want to Go Home.
So, thank God if you have to stay at home, because despite everything, with money or without money, with a job or without a job, you are in the best place you could be, which is at home, surrounded by who loves you and who you love. Ask those who are away from home, how they are not just missing being at home but are so concerned and worried for their loved ones, and wish they were together at Home.
So, while at home, be useful, be productive and be creative. Use this time optimally. Perhaps it is time to transform your house into a wonderful place to stay, a place of peace and not of war, of embrace and not of distance.
What I mean is change your perception or way you have been looking at your house, its time to see your house differently. Few examples I can suggest are;
Make your house a party zone and listen to music, sing, dance.
Make your house into a workout place and have sessions of different exercises with family... its fun when family works out together and feel healthy.
Make your house a temple or a holy area in your house where at designated time of every day, family gathers at that spot and prays or meditates.
Make your home a learning place to read, write, draw, paint, study, learn, teach.
Reorganise your house, deep clean it, rearrange things, decorate, label, move, get rid of things you don’t require, donate.
Make your house a restaurant and cook, experiment with new recipes, eat and enjoy. If you have place, then grow some fruits and vegetables. Make a small garden and sow few flower plants or just indoor plants.
There are tons of things to do, besides complaining and watching movies and eating.
Stop complaining about staying at home and stop saying “Isolated at Home”.
