Quarantine Procrastinating and I am Ok with that!

I will start focusing on exercising more...I will really dedicate time to duolingo....I will read more...I will start reaching out to old friends.....I will teach myself a new skill....I am going to start my Youtube Channel. All of these statements could be heard around the world at the start of quarantine. I was definitely one of those people. I had high hopes of exercising more, reading more, eating better, watching Netflix less and creating new projects. Well here I am day 60 of quarantine...maybe less. (SN: I live in one of the states that were the last to receive stay at home orders.) Out of all the items I had on my quarantine list only one out of the five I can say I have truly dedicated myself on improving. So I am definitely patting myself on the back but this story isn't to share my weak 1/5 success story. lol. This story is to share the idea that it is okay to feel hopeless during these times, it is okay not to be motivated, it is okay that Netflix and Hulu have received a lot more of your attention. We are living in a new normal (SN: Maybe if the tv show new normal was released during quarantine it would have been more of a success. The world will never know lol) that is definitely taking some time to adjust to and the mystery of when will things get back to normal are definitely the thought luring in everyone's mind. During these times I am not challenging you to reinvent yourself into the person that you have always wanted to be I am challenging you stay hopeful, stay positive and be grateful of the blessings that you have (family, job, quarantine bae, pets, coworkers, etc.) it may be hard to believe right now but we will get through this and we will come out stronger than ever! Until then, take pride in the little accomplishments that you may have managed during your quarantine time. If you managed to go on one walk during quarantine give yourself a pat on the back because something is better than nothing. I am here for the small success stories.
