What productive things can I do in quarantine?

Most of us are in lockdown right now. We can complain, we can feel sorry for ourselves, we can feel a lot of fear. I mean, you turn on TV and all you can see it's what's going on right now presented in the most negative way it can be. The same thing with social media or maybe even with people that you talk to.
We live with this fear, inside our houses. We feed on the news everyday, waiting for this whole thing to be over. Wasting all this time.

What we often forget is that we actually have a choice. We have a choice about what we watch, about what we think, about what we feel. There is a lot of negativity right now all around us, but it's we that decide if we tune into this or not.

There's so much things we can do right now. It is our free time! It is time to be with ourselves, to understand ourselves, to understand the world around us, to question what is actually going on. Turn this situation into something positive! We finally have the time to really think and to see the bigger picture!

So if you're still not quite sure what to do with this time, here's a list of things that I do myself to stay productive, to learn, to expand my view. Things that I encourage you to do, to try.

Meditation.
Have some time to calm your running mind. Even if it's just 10 minutes, it's worth it. Just stop for the moment and be present.

Reading books that I've never thought I'd read and watching movies I've never thought I watch
.
It's all about challenging your point of view. About seeing and reading different things different than usual. About start maybe changing some beliefs.


Cleaning room. Redecorating. Vision board.
I don't know what about you, but I am this type of person that always makes a mess and says "I'll clean this later". As you may be guessing, I say the exact thing next day and next and next...
So as right now I've got a lot of time, not only I've cleaned everything, but I also did a little transformation of my room. I rearranged furniture and decorated a little.
So if you want to feel better inside, change the things around you. Especially now, that you're most of the time in your house. As I changed my room I feel so much more productive!
And also one more thing to this point - vision board. Just find one spot that you're often looking at when your working, doing something creative, whatever. Fill this spot with everything that motivates you and makes you feel inspired. It can be quotes, pictures, plans, literally whatever you want.


Researching new topics. Learning a new trick.
Just learn about anything you want, not what they told you to learn in school! Watch some youtube videos, google some things and take notes if you want. It can be anything - entrepreneurship, new language or how to move objects using your mind! It is your own school right now. You choose what you learn. Internet is limitless. Take advantage of it.


Writing. Painting. Something creative.
There's not much to say. Just grab a piece of paper and start doing whatever you want. Just make it interesting. Or not. Whatever.

Taking care of yourself.
Do a home spa. Change your diet. Get out of the couch and start doing squats haha. Anything that's good for your body, it's good for your soul.


Shadow work. 
First of all, what is shadow work?
It is realizing the things that you've been holding on to. Realizing some deep beliefs you have, that are holding you down. Realizing fears that are holding you back. Understanding them. And letting them go.
And how do I do that?
I'm mostly writing down some deep questions to myself and I'm aswering them honestly till I fill the whole page for one question. Sometimes I go off the topic, but that's okay. It really helped me undestand and change a lot about me.
So I recommend you find the silent spot, take a notebook or piece of paper and just write and aswer your questions for whatever long it takes. Yes, it can take very long, especially if you have a lot of resistance, but that's okay. And it's also a very emotional process, of course. But it's very worth it. After, you'll feel soooo much lighter.


So hope you've enjoyed today's post, let me know in the comments which thing you're going to do!
