Hello readers. Today I will be talking about how I am learning and keeping myself inspired during this quarantine. We know that we will have to adjust with and accept this difficult time, feelings and the lifestyle until everything resumes to normalcy. It’s a time where we have to portray mankind in its purest form. This feeling is probably driving a few of us insane and while I spoke to so many of my friends (virtually ;p) and caught up with them as to what is keeping them sane and some of my findings were : Well, Dalgona coffee of course (if you haven’t tried this out, I highly urge you to try it), tik tok, cooking, online courses (you could find some on course era, linked in), games, etc etc.

Well let me share with you what I am doing apart from the things already mentioned above. There was a time when I used to learn the keyboard and due to some reasons I had to stop. However I have always felt this strange connect and love for music. How I perceive music is this

It is magical that music is one of the few forms that lets you feel a tangible source and at the same time it bows seeds of feelings and evokes a vibe. There is a certain sort of fragrance it sets you in ; so much, that you might as well get addicted. It lets you go with the flow. 

Hence this quarantine I decided that I will try my best to get back to learning and try a few songs along the way. Well I thought to myself I could have started this a lot earlier but better late than never. The reason I will tell you folks is that I always had in my mind that I don’t have the time or I can’t devote time for this or to put it very simply I was making excuses in my mind. This quarantine made me realize that when we have only ourselves, our family then the only thing that can prevent us from getting inspired to learn something or try something is our phone, the baking, etc etc because in my opinion this can only distract us but it will not push us hard or keep us happy. This will not remove the feeling of boredom.

The time that we have now is like a blessing because this is the time that we need to focus. Focus on connecting with family, focus on a new thing and see that you will enjoy it. Quarantine made me realise that what was lacking when I started keyboard was a little bit of interest and focus. However its the love for music that made me get back to playing the keyboard and actually enjoying it.

In the end I would like to conclude by saying that it’s better late than never to start focusing, being inspired and derive learning.

“Starve your distractions, feed your focus”
