“I believe that beyond this space and time, all is well and all will be well.” — Oprah
Time has officially lost its concept for me ... While I can't tell what day of the week it is on most day, I also feel time is flying by and I am (surprisingly) getting more and more used to this state-of-life. I am still focused on all the positives life has to offer and thought it would be a good idea to make a list. And if you are going to make a list might as well share it on the blog, am I right?
1. Finding a rhythm to life in the time of COVID. I have a routine where my day split in two hour intervals from 8am till 10pm, to increase productivity as well as maintain sanity through this time. It has been extremely helpful in focusing on the task-at-hand and immediate goals rather than worry about the future.
2. Trying new workouts from different YouTube channels. I was never a workout-from-home kinda person. Once in a while, on a weekend or due to bad weather was another thing but never on daily-basis. I enjoy outdoors and group classes and not in a million years had imagined I would enjoy working out in my living room much. But over the past weeks I have found some amazing YouTube channels with daily workouts and now I look forward to my workout daily.
3. Converting things in my pantry and freezer into edible and delicious foods. I have always enjoyed trying new recipes and cooking innovative dishes but as I had mentioned here, now I am really enjoying using ingredients from my pantry and making delicious things. Today I made Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Lookout this space for the recipe soon. 4. My new sweatshirt (and these super comfortable pants) from Grey State Apparel. I feel in love with this brand last year (here and here). This time around I wanted to pick pieces which were a little more laid back and something I could wear while being cooped up at home. This sweatshirt is super light and perfect for spring weather. Plus, I love the use of traditional Kantha embroidery "love more" on the chest, and Kantha stitching at the armholes and hem.5. Video calls with family and friends back home. One thing I am extremely glad about it how this world crisis has made us all reassess our priorities and reconnect with all loved ones across the globe. Because one thing is sure if someone is not on your mind in these time, then they definitely do not have any space in your heart any more. 6. Midday strolls and evening walks. Like I had mentioned above, that my day is divided into two hour intervals and in between those slots I have squeezed in a light stroll and a walk both of which are something I look forward to daily. 7. Applying eye patches. Confession: I had never used eye patches before but i have had them from several brands just lying around in my cabinet so I decided to finally put them to use. Every evening (or every other evening) I apply them for 10 minutes while watching television and wake up with softer-brighter-eyes in the morning. 8. Redecorating home without any new purchases. I have always loved moving things around in my house. In fact it is one of my criterias while purchasing furniture or home decor goods that I should be able to move and re-arrange the pieces which losing the design or color scheme. Now my home is spring ready plus COVID ready - aka - several cozy nooks and corners to go and work or hide away. HA! 9. Watching Schitt's Creek on Netflix. This is the latest show I have been watching a few episodes of every evening. I have to say my favorite character is Alexis. The chutzpa of the character and the way Annie Murphy plays it, is total perfection.
