So it’s highly imperative that we stay indoors and take the lockdown period more serious than ever.

This blog post highlights the benefit of staying indoors and what we can do for our mental health as well as physical strength.

As a travel blogger, I have simply loved traveling and venturing each city on my own, but now I feel it’s important to travel within. This is the best time to take a pause and travel within to see what we actually need. This is the time when need to grow mentally and spiritually.

Exercising –

It must be daunting for people who are used to gyms and jogging outdoors. But taking up cardio exercises at home while watching YouTube is something is very advisable; it not just peps up the mood, but also helps in shedding off the calories.

Telecommunication –

The Internet is a blessing these days and we are super happy that we get the time to connect with our families and friends living abroad. The lifestyles in the past made it impossible for us, but now that we have the time and convenience, it is definitely a great idea to bring our nears and dears closer.

Writing –

This activity is something I really want to advice. I personally feel we must all stat writing journals or a daily ledger of activities. This is a brilliant way to pen down our thoughts and align with our true self. Our thought become more clear and precise and we get to know what we truly want in life.
