5 Things I have been doing in Lockdown

5 Things I have been doing to make use of this lockdown of the Corona pandemic.

1. Learn a Language:
They say learning language makes your brain active. I have been learning Spanish from a month and a half and I am using lockdown time to hone my skills. Not just I am learning, I have also made my wife, sister, neighbor kids to also learn. So I drop by them and happily say "Hola! Como Estas?"

2. Workout:
Since there are no more excuses like fighting traffic, sweaty gyms, uncomfortable trainers, one has to work out. In my earlier posts, I have mentioned the motivation factors for my workout. I am very motivated to come out of the lockdown period being very fit.

3. Chant VishnuSahasranama:
It takes around 25 mins to chant complete VishnuSahasranama. I started this recently and I am feeling very very good after chanting. After all, what are we without the divine power of God. So dedicating half hour in a day to the devotion of God is making me feel very good.

4. Automate:
In a year and a half, I have become very passionate about coding in python. The richness of libraries and easier syntax has made me love Python. I was always a C and C++ guy. But ever since I started coding in python, I can't think of any other better language. I have been automating my regular work with python so that I can carry out my work efficiently.

5. Gratitude:
I reinstalled my habit of expressing gratitude in the lockdown time. Expressing gratitude makes us feel good about people and things and reduce the negative feelings of people and things. Gratitude attracts more positivity in life. Being grateful is a great attitude to develop.
Example: "I am so thankful to God for waking me up alive and all my loved ones alive."

Let me know how you have been making use of the lockdown time.
