If you are married or have children and live with a significant other or with other family members, this is the best time to develop a deeper connection with them. Play games with your children or partner, talk to them,stimulate your mind with debates or play scrabble or card games. If your kids are young, set time every day to read a book to them or watch movies together when you are not working. You can also take an online course, learn a new language online or with the help of an app, or read the Bible or books. Remember that book you wanted to write or that magazine you always want to create? Why not start working on that? There are so many books you can read for entertainment purposes or for self development. Why not learn an instrument or tap into your creative side.
In my opinion, if you have a job, and are confined at home with the option to work from home, this is really not the time to be bored. It may sound weird, but coronavirus might be a blessing in disguise. It might be what the world needed to pause and breath in and out. It might be what you and I needed to slow down and be “human” again, to experience that human feeling of fear and know that we are not invincible no matter your financial or or societal status, and it might be what we needed to impose that “ME time” everyone of us needs occasionally or to spend more time with our loved ones who we are confined with at home. So how can you be bored with so many options when you have time in your hands? It is OK to be scared about the future. We are all human. But do not be consumed by it as it won’t result in anything positive or productive and might make you even more agitated with whats is going on around you.
