DOING NOTHING IS ABSOLUTELY OKAY!

Hello May!

This post is only to them who have no clue about what is happening in their lives and are not capable of doing productive work. In that case, it's absolutely okay to do nothing. It's okay to be clueless about life, it's okay to sit at home and chill, it's okay to do whatever makes you happy, because the ultimate goal of our life is to be at peace with ourselves and not to please anyone else.

All of us use social media and we've probably seen the posts of people baking, learning new skills, quarantine fitness challenges, before and after photos of someone, and what else. People have called these acts of productivity as ‘quarantine goals', which has made many of us worry that we are not being productive enough.

Just because your friend or someone on social media is doing something productive, doesn’t mean you need to get down on the battleground too. Whether quarantined or not, you should never compare yourself with others, for the simple reason that everyone is blessed with one’s own capabilities and potential. Everyone’s situation is different. We’re at a point where self-care is one of the first things everybody could implement to ensure that when things settle down, we are able to be productive.

You might have felt the pressure to fill your time with creative projects and complete tasks that you’ve been assigned, but if you are yet to start your to-do list, also if you're doing nothing other than making the to-do list of course, then you are not alone and whatever you are doing is just fine. Don’t underestimate the power of doing absolutely nothing.

Stay positive rather than being productive. What we need to understand is that we are all in a state of crisis and not being unproductive should be the last thing we should be worried about. Positivity is something that will get us through this rough patch in our lives. If God can create such helpless situation, he can also also create a way to get out of it. Trust him and be proud of where you are.

May this MAY bring a new hope to our lives.

MAY we fight this together.

MAY we overcome this situation

MAY there be hope.

MAY we never be in a place where we are today.
