Have A Project
It is the middle of 2020 and this year has very difficult, as the pandemic has had a profound effect on our lives. I write this in Melbourne which currently has stage four restrictions and a curfew. It gets cold in this city in winter (it isn’t on the level of Norway, but it is cold) and likely shows the seasonality of Coronavirus. Some countries have given up, but they are all in the Northern Hemisphere and many people are cautious and trying to keep safe. One way is to stay home. It is easy to become down and dispirited by this unprecedented event. Use this down time, where we cannot see our friends and family, to work towards something tangible. It will give us hope and something to focus on. You never know where it will take you. Not everyone was satisfied with their lives and jobs before quarantine.
What Have You Wanted To Do, But Didn’t Have The Time To Try It
This is the moment to do something that you didn’t have the belief or time to start. You may be a artist who hasn’t had the time to paint a large portfolio of works. Though my blogs are more art oriented, I realise a person may be reading this who has a desire to start a food blog or a person who wishes to get into marathon running, but didn’t have the time. With Marathon running it takes a long time to build up the stamina required to run 42.2 km. There is something exciting about starting a new hobby, going online and learning about it. You become part of a community as there are many forums with different people that you can befriend. It is the same thing with art. When you find a subject that intrigues you, when you wish to paint a large amount of paintings needed for an exhibition or a children’s illustrated book for example, now is the perfect opportunity to explore these and other projects. Take advantage of this time to accomplish what you always wanted to do. Start a project today.
Focusing On Something Purposeful Is Great For The Brain
It doesn’t matter what you what you do, as in the end it will take your mind off the situation in the world. We cannot control what is happening in every part of our planet, and it is easy to feel disheartened and hopeless. You and I have to realize that we have little control at the moment. You need to take a deep breath, meditate and do something for your future. With this project you will improve and become better. Bring your everyday job into your art or hobby. There is a well known Youtuber who seemingly came out of nowhere named Binging with Babish. The reason is because he was a trained filmmaker, so his videos are well made, and he came up with an interesting concept for his channel, where he recreates food from tv and film. As he has focused on this project, he has improved his cooking skills and now has many opportunities that have come with the success of his channel. Come up with a concept and make a project of something that intrigues you. Everything at this moment is about the future, our hope for a vaccine and cure to this devastating virus. Until that happens you are working on something that may change your future for the better.
