Tips To Maintain Mental Peace- After Effects of Corona Pandemic ( COVID 19)

We are all going through tough times.. mentally, emotionally, financially, and physically because of this COVID 19 pandemic. No vaccine, no medication is present to cure this problem and not only the disease but its side effects are more dangerous for our lives. Below are a few of my opinions, which I used to keep my mental stability. I lost my job as a hotel manager and faced financial crunches and dealt with depression. But I followed these steps told by my mental health coach. I am gradually coming out of the shock which we all felt.

Be Positive- Try to imagine positive and Feel positive. It is very hard to do, but we have to keep our spirits high. Being positive and learning to keep ourselves in a high mindset will help us to survive in long run.
Exercise– Sedimentary lifestyle has given us many bad habits. Sitting idle brings us ill health and depression. Exercise helps us dealing with depression and keeps us in shape.
Yoga- Yoga is an Indian form of spiritual exercise. It works on our mind, body, and soul.
Meditation- Meditation helps us digging deep into our mind and soul. It calms and relaxes our anxiety and strengthen our thought process.
Gratitude- In the time of disparity, gratitude is something that reminds us of the good things and blessings we already have in our lives.
Accept the reality–Be it COVID-19 or any other problem in our life, we have to face everything and get up again and again. We have to convince ourselves that it is a harsh reality and we have to survive it.
Check on your finances- Finance amidst the Corona pandemic is critical. People lost jobs and lost savings. There is little scope of reviving finances soon. So it is really really important for us to look back at our savings and review our expenses.
Do a little budgeting– By digging deep into what we have in our hands and our sources of income, we must pick up a calculator, pen, and paper and find out where to cut expenses and where to invest more. By doing this we will have a clear idea of how much money is still in our hands and how much we have to work hard to meet our needs and invest in savings.
Explore other sources of income- We must explore other sources of income. We all have suffered a lot due to a crash in the economy and lockdown. We should start searching Other sources of income like any converting our hobby into a business. Try work at home, Sell on Etsy, on Amazon, or own a shop in Shopify. There are many many fields we can try. I will soon post a separate blog post on this topic.
Increase your expertise- try learning new skills during lock-down. We hope everything will be fine soon and when the world will start reinventing itself you will emerge as a new you.

So these are the basic important things we have to do whenever we feel low because of COVID 19 or during any other crisis no matter what the reason is. If we do simple math and have courage we will overcome all failures in our lives.

Tips on How to Stop Wasting Time

In this fast-moving world, everybody wants to do more and more in 24 hours. We have to eat, sleep, earn and spend and live life in these 24 hours. So it becomes very important to save time and do more. To save time and not wasting it here are my personal 10 favorite tips. Hope they will help you as well.

How not to waste time? start doing now

Keep a to-do list- a to-do list is a parameter where we can judge our progress. It helps us in being focused and lead our day towards a fruitful one. Making a to-do list keeps our brain on track and constantly reminds us of what we have to accomplish.
Learn to prioritize- After making a to-do list, think which works are more important and needs to be done first. as the day passes by you will realize that how much work you had done and it will give a sense of achievement. The common formula for prioritizing is like-(A) The tasks which are important and urgent should be done at first. (B) The task which is urgent but not important is needed to be completed next. (C) The task which is important but not urgent is needed to be completed third. (D) The works which are neither important nor urgent can be put into the fourth category and can be done at our ease.
Keep a schedule- Scheduling helps us manage our time. It helps us know when to finish what. As a working mother or any other professional, we have to do lots of tasks, so we can give our time to every chore that we want to complete. Allocate your time very carefully. Keeping in mind to capture all aspects.
Check yourself every 30 minutes- You can say that you will have to track your time. Sometimes we get distracted especially if you are a work from home mother. So we should always check our time and work regularly and periodically. If we find a distraction, just rectify it as soon as possible.
Start Doing- Now the most important step. Just start doing your work. Just follow your schedule and tick off the tasks list in your to-do list.

The most important this is the mindset and the urge to do something. We have to just do it. the most important step is the first step. Once we started completing and marking off our tasks, it gives us immense confidence to do more.

So, please follow the above-mentioned steps. They look hard to follow in the start but after a week, it will become our habit and we will do it all by ourselves.

How To feel energetic in the morning

Every body reading this blog post wants to accomplish as much as they can in the day. We all want to do our best and can only do more if we have more hours to work and this is only possible if we get up early. Secret of good morning lies in a good night sleep. We must sleep nicely in order to wake up fresh and energetic. So, here are some of my personal favorite tips which might help you too…

Tips for good night sleep

Plan your next day a night before- You must plan your another day a night before, so that your brain feel relaxed.
Set a Routine- Try to set up some daily rituals before going to bed Like brushing your teeth, reading a book, saying your prayers etc. These rituals will signal your brain to go for a sleep.
Avoid stimulants like tea, coffee, sugar etc before sleeping, as they increase your blood circulation and awake your brain.
Do not eat heavy, spicy and junk food at night.
Try to do all your routines at same time every day to develop them into habits.
Turn off all the electronic devices at least half an hour before you decide to fall asleep.
Make your bed as much cozy to sleep as you can- choose a blanket to keep you warm enough, bedding must be comfortable and clean.
Try to get enough sleep of seven to eight hours.

Tips for energetic morning

Try to wake up at same time every day.
Put an alarm in an alarm clock not in any other device.
Do not hit snooze. keep alarm clock as far away from your bed as much as you can, so that when it rings you have to get up to close it.
Have a morning routine- Keeping morning routines are equally important as night time routines. You can develop a habit to fold you blanket as soon as you get out of bed, shower, specific healthy breakfast etc.
Exercise- you must exercise with out fail. try to refresh your tissues and muscles. Pump up some oxygen.

Importance of Rising Early

We all have heard “Early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”. The saying describes the importance and benefits of waking up early. This rules also apply to women who wake up early.

We can achieve health, wealth and mental fitness in many ways if we rise early.

Here are my point of views on the benefit of getting up just an hour before our schedule-

Good Health- We all want to be fit and healthy. We want to give our family our best and for this, we have to take responsibility for our health. We have heard many times that ‘a healthy mind lives in a healthy body’ so a total fitness is important

-whether it’s our physical health or mental health.

Mental fitness- When we rise early, we have enough time to think, plan and execute our day, this stops the need to rush in the morning. We can start our day as we want it to be started and remain positive throughout.

According to research conducted by Texas University students who study in the morning score better marks. This means our brain concentrates better in a peaceful environment.

Physical fitness- morning breeze are fresh, less polluted. Breathing in the morning air gives strength to our lungs. Exercising in the morning hours makes our lungs even stronger as they absorb more oxygen. People who wake up early often go to bed early, so this ensures a better and sound sleep. Our body gets enough time to rest and heal.

Apart from good health If we get up early just an hour early we can accomplish many things like-

Plan our day- No need to forget important appointments, kids’ assignments, exercise etc. if we have a plan, we can execute it easily.

Healthy breakfast– we can treat ourselves with a healthy breakfast, we can make it ourselves, so do not have to indulge in fast food.

Meditate- we can spare time to meditate in the fresh air and peaceful environment.

Increase productivity- We can have more time to think for ourselves, more sunlight, we can plan work, outdoor activities etc., we can increase our overall productivity.

Researchers say that people who start their day early are always happy and positive so these are enough reasons to motivate us to get up early.
