I really enjoyed the activity of brainstorming, and attempting to come up with 50 ideas just made me have a more positive outlook overall that there were even 50 things I could possibly do. A lot of my ideas and brainstorming were focused on concrete activities or goals I could accomplish, such as getting outside everyday, spending time with family, getting dressed and up/out of bed, FaceTiming and staying connected to friends and family, and watch new shows. However the ones I highlighted were more overall activities, and they include setting and keeping a daily routine, stay positive, carve out time for self-care, get back into beading and selling jewelry, and reflect on the positives of the situation and radiate this to others. The last one I think I am already doing by coming up with 50 ideas for coronavirus season, I just have to go forth and explain the positivity of the situation to others.
The one concrete one I highlighted was getting back into beading and selling my jewelry. This is something I literally always want to do, but I typically only really have time for in the summer because it’s such a meticulous activity and I tend to be an incredibly busy person. I think not just for making a profit would this be a great activity to begin right now, but also because I actually love doing it.
As I have mentioned, I am always someone so busy or on-the-go, so I rarely ever have time for self-care or self reflection. Having this unbothered time by really anything to do other than school assignments is incredible, and I really believe that this could be an extremely beneficial activity for myself as we continue social distancing. I am always so social and hate being alone, and therefore I think this goal is a good one to push me out of my comfort zone a little bit, and get comfortable with the idea of being alone more / be more self – dependent. Going along with this, I think setting a daily routine for myself will be really good for the positive mentality I want to keep.
