Corona confinement
As the world and I are trying to confine ourselves as much as we can, to and in our homes, I have also found that this creates a large amount of time in the week that has to be filled with ‘something’. Normally I like going outside, on any day really, but mostly during the weekend. Going outside, either to the city or countryside, makes my mind tick. It gives me inspiration. It helps me think, because (particularly in the bustling city) there are things happening around me, movements and appearances to pay attention to. This is just how the city works, it bustles. Within all this ‘happening’ I find my mind can settle. I don’t have to wonder what I should do, I just flow, move myself through the chaos. It frees up my mind to think about other things, stimulated by all this spontaneousness that is find in the chaos.
Anyways… This I now can’t do, as the inside of my house does not resemble anything of the city centre. Although there are plenty ideas at the ready for me to entertain myself – keep myself busy – it sometimes does not come easy to me to actually get started. Because not much is happening inside my home (or out on the streets to be honest) it can feel hard to get my engine started. But I have found something that can perhaps get me fired up; working on my website. Finally I have time to spare that can be used toward something that I don’t usually dedicate sufficient time to. Although I’d really like to spend more time outside and less time in front of my screens, I really should try to make the most of it.
