1. Adopt the change

“The change is the law of nature”

Change makes us capable of adopting anything.

People had to change their way of living, their regular habits, style of formal education, work environment, communication ways and the way of spending time. Their efforts are tremendous. All these things each of us learnt during this pandemic and was not easy initially. We soon realised adopting these changes is the only key to keep us alive without knowing how long would it go. We may be back to our regular routine at one fine day in near future or we may have wait for some more time, we don’t have that answer yet but adopting to change is the only way to make it amicable.

2. Prepare for the crisis

Could we have saved many lives in this situation? Did we have confidence that the situation is under control? Can we change our destiny?

Probably Not. We witnessed we were helpless. The Pandemic exhibit how overweening we were. Human life is really uncertain.

Preparing for bad times is not bad idea, we should start at our individual level to some what prepare for some unpredictable situations in future, may be its related to our health, finance or tech literacy.

Tech literacy is one of the key factor of preparation of this pandemic as we witnessed life to go from offline to online in many areas of our life like schooling, paperless banking, shopping, virtual hangouts with friends and relatives. Many SMBs transitioned to online due to lockdown effect as only online was the unaffected way of distribution.

3. Support each other in times of need

We truly understand how our family and people around us are important than money, designation and pride. This endless battle with coronavirus shows us the importance of our priceless life and the value of the people surrounding us.

Now family and relations are always in my priority list. This gave me the opportunity to reconnect with the people who truly matter.

We have to think a while and appreciate what we have with us. Forgive each other, remove bad memories, forget past issues and move on with new memories.

4. Workout on your health and wellness

Unless you take care of yourself, you can not fight with such viral infections or any illness. Keeping ourselves fit and acquiring right mindset of health first would proven to be good investment in future.

This is a time to rethink our regular routine. Adding regular breathing exercises and Yoga for at least 30 minutes on daily basis along with regular walking would help us to keep our body immune system good and ready to up for challenges.

Having balanced diet along with sufficient liquid intake is additional way to improve our immunity. So pay attention to your food and exercise or yoga in present and it will be reflected in your future by making you strong and fit.

5. What we give always comes back to us

Many of us know about Karma or have at-least heard about it. what it means is whatever we are today is because of our own yesterday’s thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions.

What we did with nature? Did we care about saving mother earth against getting it polluted? Did we care about cutting trees to satisfy our never ending need?

Our activities whether they are good or bad definitely come back as a boomerang. In this period of crisis, there were few vehicles on the road, people were happy to consume what they have.

That helped to keep pollution level under control and given us lifetime lesson to not ignore the supremacy of nature.
