Mental health during the Pandemic (Corona Virus)

Mental health during the Pandemic (Corona Virus)

Few months back I have been thinking about taking a break from my daily routine. Rehearsal, performances, practice, workout, jogging everything was getting monotonous as I had a hectic schedule due the performance season. I thought to take a break after the season ends and here I am in between an unpredictable break and looking forward to get back to the work again. 

Well as I tried many things in this forced break to utilize the time to the most but after a certain it came back to the square one. I tried yoga, gardening, painting, getting in touch with old friends and what not. There was a point when I almost forgot dates and days, found myself in a strange state where i was not ready to move a inch without my will. The whole say became even longer than earlier, was socializing virtually at night and sleeping in the morning, skipping my breakfast almost everyday and sometimes had dinner at 12:30 at night.

After many almost a month i realized that i need to concentrate on my mental health as i live alone i need to see some faces everyday, some real faces...known, unknown, favorite, ignored, beautiful, not so beautiful anything but i need some real life faces in front of my eyes. Then i started going out for market for daily needs with all safety measures, as if this is the new normal. I was so happy to see life moving around me. As if everything in this world will be in its place soon.

Now I try to get back to the disciplined in all these restrictions. Sometimes i go out to watch the beautiful happy trees around me full of birds and squirrels. I breath the best possible air we could never think of. I feel more close to nature where all the human voices has been stopped and nature sings in its silent yet powerful voice. I found my happiness back, now i sleep with a slime as if everything in this world would be in its place soon.
