Be kind to yourself

Sometimes we become very harsh with ourselves. Be polite and find the child in your inner corners of the heart. We all have a talent inside us; try to find your talent, do hard work, and make India proud of you. Learning helps us to be curious and boosts our self-confidence. So try to learn something new, fulfill your dreams, whatever you saw in the past and you feel to fulfill it one day. Time has come now; it’s time to learn something new.

Take a sound sleep

The night of good sleep is for great mental health. Good sleep reduces the risk of health ailments like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. So grab your pillow and blanket and take a good sleep during the lockdown.

Declutter your home

Working on your home is the best way to get rid of unwanted thoughts of your mind. It is the best opportunity to clean and declutter your home. Studies say that cleaning not only offers a sense of control but also offers respite from traumatic stress to mind, body & soul.

Reflecting and finding resilience

Birds are the most beautiful creation of God on this Earth. Enjoying bird song makes you tension free. Sir Anthony believes there is a need to “be grateful and reflect”. Those who have a home garden can do this and those who don’t have can shut themselves in a silent room.

Embracing Emotions

Life in lockdown will trigger many Emotions; it’s better to cry sometimes. Lockdown is full of emotional ups and downs so recall your friends and memories which you spend with them and cry.

My Suggestion: Spend time with your family, watch TV, play indoor games, sit with elders. In this way, you can spend time in lockdown. If you are a baby boy or a girl, learn art & craft and also learn How to play guitar, learn How to play sports, help your mother in domestic choruses, learn dance and singing, learn How to play musical instruments, search about your favorite role models and follow them.  Spend time with your grandparents; listen to the story of Holy Ramayana and Geeta. It will teach you the real meaning of life. Spend time with your father and learn How your father spends time in earning money and feel How much they do to give you  a good life. These are some ways to spend time in lockdown for children.

So these are some tips by which you will get mental peace during the lockdown.
Stay at home!! Stay healthy!! Keep Smiling!!
