Update

There is now a second wave of the Corona virus pandemic, this post still remains relevant

As we see that even if a cure is found today, you will still find this post relevant to your day-to-day life.

With the vaccines being made available by Pfizer and Moderna, there is a sigh of relief but we need to keep self-isolating and take every measure to avoid getting COVID19.

It’s not news anymore, coronavirus is now a pandemic and the whole world is struggling to stop this ravaging illness.

Countries have adopted all sorts of measures to try to slow and stop the spread of the virus.

Some of the measures include social distancing, hygiene alerts, and also lockdown of countries and states.

While there seems to be palpable fear everywhere, I would say fear and panic are not the answer.

At these times the most important thing to do is to redirect your energy elsewhere.

Poring over the news after news of the coronavirus COVID 19 will only increase your anxiety levels.

Practice hygiene, and avoid large crowds, and most importantly stay home.

Now staying home does not have to be like a death sentence.

For some of us use to working online, it is not a struggle, even if we have to work with kids at home, It is still not so terrible.

To redirect your energy and help you be more productive during this period.

Here are 5 things you can do when you are quarantined or under a lockdown.

6 Things to do when you are quarantined or under a lockdown.

1. Start a home business

This may not be a time you will be thinking of starting a home business.

The markets are virtually doing a flip side up, down today, and up tomorrow.

While it seems like the world economies are in turmoil. A lot of money is being pumped into the economy and small business credits will go down.

What better time can you start a business but when the government is willing to support people to stabilize their business?

In the midst of this turmoil, there is hope and there is always a need that you can fulfill.

Take a look around you and see what your community needs, be the one to supply those needs and you are in business.

Some likely business ideas that are doing well now include

• Food and Toiletries
• Protective gear- Face mask and Gloves, scarves
• Game sets
• Ebooks and courses
• Counseling

The needs may not even be physical. For example, a lot of people are looking for answers right now and need counseling assurance and help.

If you have a gift for counseling people and giving people hope, then this is the time to use it to help people who are going through difficult situations.

You can start by offering free counseling services now, but when this pandemic is over, you will be their person of choice when they can pay you.

4. Study the bible

In times like this, a lot of panic is going on and people are uncertain.

There is one thing that is certain in the midst of all this uncertainty, the word of God is still certain.

He has provided for us in this season in Psalm 91.

Instead of being at home and panicking reading the news and getting paranoid, this is the time to spend time in the word of God.

If you read Psalm 91 properly you will see that the Lord promised us that we are safe from all these calamities.

He promised his protection over us long before COVID-19 showed up. Our faith is in his word and not in the current situation.

Taking time to study the word as a family will not only help you to build your faith individually but as a family.

You will find times of bonding and love you never had before because you never had the time to spend in the word of God.

The Lord will reveal himself to you more as a healer, helper, protector, savior, and comforter.

5. Start a DIY project

When you are quarantined or under a lockdown, you may not be able to go out or interact socially, but you can do some activities within your home that will help you live through the season.

One of those activities is to start a DIY project, it could be to build something or even landscape your backyard.

It could also be to sew those cushions you have always wanted to do or to renovate your home by yourself.

These are activities that can help you to keep you busy, a busy mind does not have time to be worry and be fearful.

Some activities you can do

• Build a backyard fire pit
• Sew new covers for your cushions at home
• Preserve food
• Dream up new recipes and test it
• Do a recycling project- With the shortage of essentials, it is time to practice sustainability, reuse, recycle and preserve your environment.
• Landscape your garden.

6.Declutter

Decluttering helps to keep you in a good frame of mind, even though it is a physical activity it actually has some mental advantages.

You may have wanted to declutter for some time now but never got around to do it

Now is the time to begin to declutter your closet, pantries, and other parts of your house you haven’t visited in ages.

You know that basement where you dumb everything that you are not using anymore? It is time to clean it out and let in some fresh air.

Spring is almost here anyway so why not start spring cleaning early enough.

Decluttering your space at this time will also help you to be mentally active and keep your mind fresh for new ideas.

As the world keeps changing rapidly before us, I want you to know that the best antidote to worry, fear, and uncertainty is to keep busy.

Redirect your thoughts to God’s word and promises, be joyful, and keep your home clean and healthy.

Wash your hands and do what you can to protect your family but realize that the ultimate protection comes from God.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91Vs 11

⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalm 91 vs 7
