Instead, here are 9 ways to transform your life for better during this time of crisis, let the Coronavirus pandemic make you better:

1.> Write A Bit — Have you always wanted to work on your writing skills? Do you find it difficult to share your ideas with the world just because you can’t put it up in words? Try to brush up your writing skills by actually writing something. Share it anywhere, in a WhatsApp group, Instagram, LinkedIn or Medium. Write something daily for the next 21 days and you will see a difference. Here’s a Youtube video to get you started.

2.> Teach — If you are good at something, you should share your knowledge. And while you have free time right now, do that. If you are a digital marketer, teach someone digital marketing online through Skype. If you are an analyst, introduce someone to cool analytical tools that you use. Do it for free, it will feel great and will brush up your knowledge too.

In case you want to learn Web Development, I am teaching Web Development to complete beginners for the next few days. Email me at ds@dsaman.com to connect with me about the same.

3.> Learn a new skill — No matter how old you are, you must have always wanted to learn something that you just couldn’t take out time for. It can be dancing, playing that instrument kept in the corner in your home, sewing a button on your shirt, picking a lock (I am not judging. :P) or anything weird, fun or shocking. This is your time to do it. Here’s a cool list of 50 things you can learn from YouTube.

4.> Become A Cooking Ninja — If there is supposed to be a best time to learn cooking, current period would clearly be the winner! With restaurants closing down, and food deliveries becoming riskier and slow, it’s your signal to take out your apron and unleash the cooking Ninja inside you. Also, cooking is considered to be very therapeutic, definitely a bonus right now.

5.> Exercise — Most of us procrastinate physical fitness with the excuse of busy life, guess what, you can’t do that anymore. So, get up, give me those push-ups, crunches, 2 minute planks and everything you have got. By the time this situation is controlled, you can transform your body like no one would even recognise you. Here are few basic exercises to get you started.

6.> Your Mind Deserves A Gift— Are you feeling anxious and stressed out due to the whole Corona thing? Then, start meditating today. As exercise is for the body, meditation is for the mind. You will experience great results in just a month. Here’s a free Mind Valley class on meditation that will help you with the process.

7.> Read — Do I even have to elaborate on this point? Remove the dust off those books from your bookshelves and start reading them, buy the e-books that you have always wanted to read and get them over with.

8.> Brainstorm Business Ideas — I follow James Altucher, an American Entrepreneur. He asks everyone to think of 5 new business ideas and write them on paper everyday. What better time to start doing that than today? Jot down 5 new business ideas everyday and who knows, you might stumble across a billion dollar idea in the process! Plus, it’s really a great exercise for your brain. Keeps your creativity flowing.

9.> Give Time To Your Loved Ones — We are often unable to talk properly with our loved ones or spend quality time with them because of our busy lives. Spend the next few days doing the exact opposite, make your bonds stronger with the ones closest to you. Talk to them as if the world is coming to an end, because who knows, while the optimist inside me makes me follow the above ways, the pessimist inside me sometimes whispers this might be the end. :)
