This is the most suitable time to do all that was lacking in our daily routines
ISLAMABAD: We were so busy in our daily lives that we were neglecting our own selves. In the hustle and bustle of competitiveness, the idea of self-love was losing its significance. Now, with this Covid-19 outbreak, we are all being restricted to our homes in order to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further. This is the most suitable time to do all that was lacking in our daily routines. Do not forget that a positive mindset strengthens your immune system and a strong immune system is necessary to fight the viral disease. From now onward we should distance ourselves not just from the outside world but also from media platforms that are propagating negativity. Try to sleep enough, it will also boost up your immunity. It is important to exercise daily so that you remain strong and fresh. Try to develop a new ability or skill and be patient. Drink a cup of tea or coffee and pick up your favorite book that you have always wanted to read. The cell phone in your hand will help you get back in touch with your good old friends and distant family members. Light a candle in your room and meditate. Stay hydrated. Don’t miss offering your prayers and be informed about the needy people around you. Most importantly seek forgiveness from God as this is the height of self-love.
