Working and staying in be like…

Its been a while since I’ve stepped out for my morning walks. Precisely, its been nine months. I connect with nature and the living species out there so you must be wondering how I am surviving now. Its not easy but I’ve kept my hopes up and positive, with no expectations of whatsoever about how and when Corona virus would stop spreading and when the world would get back as a better place for every being to live in. The only thing that keeps me going is my imagination. My mind keeps me occupied and curious, and helps me stay strong.

There were loads of adventures this year. I met new people, started working in my very first job, spent good time with a couple new friends, learnt many things, constant amazon grocery shopping haha. Overall it was a rollercoaster year! Speaking of firsts, I had my very first death by chocolate sundae by corner house ice-creams this year. It is super yummy and delicious. If you are in India, please do grab one! That was just one small happy moment of this year amongst the others.

I enjoyed the smallest of moments and at times would get overwhelmed and experience a cyclone of emotions too because I was thinking too much about the future. Times like these I have always had someone to keep me rooted. I had someone who always reminded me to be in the present and to enjoy the present.

Some thing which always helped me to feel less anxious and normal were journaling, music, a cup of tea, a hug in a mug (coffee :)). Oh and Alexa too! To anyone who is reading this post of mine, please do know that its all going to be okay. We might be working from home, feeling stressed, anxious, taking care of our families, multitasking and doing what not but this phase will be ending soon and a new year and a new chapter will begin.

Until then lets meditate, sing, dance around, paint, walk around at home or on the terrace, smile, talk to people, stay connected virtually, exchange virtual hugs with your loved ones, and keep looking for the light even though things seem dark and hazy at the moment keep reminding yourself that the winters don’t last forever, the sun is bound to rise and shine.
