Lockdown can be a challenging phase, be it with family, friends, or even yourself.
Spending your entire time confined in the same place can get overwhelming.
Lockdown certainly affects your mental health. With all the negativity going around, everyone needs to find something positive to hold on.
How lockdown affects you depends on you. You must understand what is controllable and what is not.
You either whine about all the problems you face or start looking for opportunities. The choice is yours.
Never a wrong time to think back on your dreams, the ones you held close. When will you get this chance again to think in solitude about your ambitions? What was your goal initially, and has it changed along the way?
Could you think of a better time to introspect on your personal development? And reanalyze the path you wish to take going forward?
Running in circles every day,
Without a clear goal ahead.
Chasing dreams showcased for you,
Without skepticism, following the horde.
Suddenly the times have changed,
The race you have been running is now halted,
Everyone forced to self-reflect,
Sitting on your thoughts with no refrain.
The time has come when you look inward,
Beyond the materialistic greed, you looked farther,
Measuring the worth of what you had neglected,
Wanting to restore the damage you had inflicted.
Perhaps this lockdown has a silver lining,
Impelling you to reassess your life.
Reminiscing the times when you dreamt high,
Lacked the courage to see them thrive.
Be brave to pursue what you desire,
Don't get disheartened by any debacle,
Shall have faith in what you aspire,
Stop at nothing unless you've reached your ambition.
The lockdown has extended for quite a while,
Allowing time for you to realize,
You live an uncertain life,
Don't waste it while you are alive.
When the lockdown is over, will you be the same as you were? Or would you transform into a different and a better person?
