Statistics have shown that more people have been depressed and it has shown through extreme cases of violence upon oneself and/or others during this COVID crisis. Whether it is from being torn away from personal hobbies, loss of business and/or COVID deaths in the family, this epidemic has been shown to affect people's lifestyle in one way or another. I luckily don't have much hobbies that have been discontinued from this epidemic, but finding a job has been harder and in the meantime, I have been trying to find ways to focus on improving my quality of life, along with skillsets, and make the most out of our time quarantined.
Developing healthy habits during COVID quarantine is very important and can even lead to new interests. From personal experience, although I've gained a bit of weight during this time period, I've also been reading a lot on computer science, extensively about biochemistry, practicing power yoga and have been able to focus on finally creating full songs on my guitar, which I am aiming to take further. With all the time left to oneself, people must adapt to their situation and turn it into a positive experience, or at least maintain a healthy lifestyle. Applying some effort into doing things that will give you some positive relief and keep you in good spirits can have a huge beneficial impact. Keeping the mind busy is important to warding off negativity and unhealthy mental spirals. I am always interested in how other people have been handling this crisis and their gains from it.
