Arrival of COVID-19 has completely changed the way of life we have been living. It is certain that adjusting to change can be challenging, planned or unplanned, gradual or sudden. Change is inevitable and we must accept it as part of being human. Our county went into lockdown recently and people are facing difficult time adjusting to it. But in case of me, lockdown came as a gift.
I felt lockdown like a gift, as I got ample time to be with my family and my growing daughter. My daughter is in need of parents love, care and attention at her critical age of mental and physical development. I got good time to know her likes, dislikes and developmental pattern. With this I knew what kind of support and guidance I should provide her to let her learn better at this age.
With this lockdown I also got time to reflect on the kind of life which I have been living. I realized that nothing is worthy and permanent in this life. Everything is meant to live only for certain period of time and no one has the power to live everyday forever. When time comes, no one has the authority, no one has to power and will to change how well and how long we live.
I got enough time to do prayers to show gratitude to our King, county and people who have been protecting and supporting our country and people to live life so peacefully.
I got enough time to connect with my old friends and family members. Usually I used to be engaged with my professional work and get very less time to connect with friends and family. But during this lockdown, I need not have worry about my work much and I can spend quality time with friends and family through social media.
Another good thing about lockdown is, I got good time to explore through online lessons where I can upgrade and update my personal and professional learning.
Reading and exploring through books is another opportunity I could grab during this lockdown. In other days I don't get much time to read other books as I get busy preparing for the lessons to be delivered the next day. Currently I need not have to prepare any lesson, so I take opportunity to explore and learn more through reading books.
It is also a time to sleep peacefully without any worry to wake up early in morning to cook and get ready for the work. At this time, I can also explore different excerice to do at home to keep myself fit both mentally and physically.
This is what Covid lockdown means to me. It's just my personal experience. In no ways it represents the view of anyone.
Thank you
Happy Reading
