In India, it’s a lockdown for 21 days, but it’s the break we were looking for a long time. Now it’s here
21 days of exploration
21 days of self-awareness
21 days of creativity
21 days of opportunity
21 days are enough to adapt any good habit and enough to break this chain, so let’s opt for these cool ideas and make some good out of these #quarantine days
- Start a New Book and finish it within 21 days (and understand that only buying a book and piling them on the shelf won’t help, the best time to read a chapter is just before sleep)
2. As Cleanliness is our first priority now, do a deep cleaning of your room/home/kitchen by selecting one space a day (Ghar ka Kona Kona chamka do :p)
3. Try some new Recipe with the ingredients available, also if you don’t know any cooking, learn a basic one (this crisis must teach you how cooking is important)
4. Practice Silence for a day at least, it will give some new direction to your life, also how weird you can think (if you have courage, write them down :p)
5. Learn any new language (good to go with some mostly used languages which can help you in the near future, like state/regional ones, I am learning Marathi)
6. Cleaning of your device is equally important now our devices are full of garbage/forwards/memes, so clean it, also arrange your PC drives, move your favourite pictures to the cloud, and delete unnecessary stuff
7. Remove dust from your guitar and play it if it doesn’t work this time, sell it on OLX, please
8. Get an Internet-free day without mobile/laptop/any gadget
9. Talk to your old friends/video call to your parents, relatives(okay, they are not that bad), and connect with your old friends from social media
10. Sign up on Quora and share some Gyaan
11. Set up some garden in the balcony and grow some basic vegetables from seeds like(chilies, lemon, tomato, mint, coriander, etc) if you don’t have pot just shove them in some jar or something once a plant is up transferred it to another container if you don’t have any soil either go with plants that can grow in water(check out some basic youtube channel for simple gardening)
12. Practice Yoga/Meditation (Surya Namaskar and Vipassana are good to start with), connect with some live classes going on Instagram(@yogawithgarima) and for meditation, follow some tricks of Osho/Sadguru/@jayshetty
13. Watch some quality content on Netflix (Money Heist, Dark, Her, You, Ozark, Kingdom, etc)
14. Start writing your journal that we want to do from childhood, now it’s time to draft something on a daily basis, your goals, how the day went, what you did or anything you just want to share with your diary, aka yourself
15. Start writing some quotes (on YourQuote, on Medium) or your opinions about anything, a token of appreciation for your loved ones, you can write reviews of places you’ve been to on Google/TripAdvisor/Zomato or movie reviews/product reviews
16. Paint your feelings on canvas/wall murals(if it’s your own house ), try doodling (Checkout @theuncommonbox and @artistmamtasingh) and get it done
17. Spent some quality time with your kids playing, loving animals, talking to your parents and sharing your true feelings with your partner(Baatein Karo)
18. Try some new moves freestyle dance/Zumba/classical dance and dance cum exercise
19. Create your own space, do some DIY and Interior to that corner for work from home and for all your creativity (soon I am going to post how to create a YouTube channel background, stay tuned)
20. spent a day without covid-19 existence, no news, no analytics, nothing, just nothing like a normal holiday
21. For the god’s sake, one day do nothing, no nothing, completely nothing, void, don’t plan anything, free your mind, just go with the flow
