People are not getting productive as this lock down is a great opportunity for everyone to gain knowledge and acquire new skills . We're getting plenty of  free time in this lock down which is huge opportunity for us to do something productive and to grow ourselves mentally and physically. So, today I'm going to tell you 7 ways that can help you grow as an individual mentally and physically.

The 7 productive ways are:-

1.  YOGA

• Yoga is a very beneficial practice that you perform in this lock down. It can help you grow both physically and mentally immensely. We don't take yoga that much seriously because we hate exercise but yoga is not only exercise it's a process of both physical and mental exercise . It'll not only benefit you physically but It'll also help with your mental health if you're feeling low and suffering from boredom in this lock down than yoga is the best option for you .

       

     

   2. READING BOOKS

•     Reading is a very good habit that one needs to develop in life. Good books can inform you, enlighten you and lead you in the right direction. There is no better companion than a good book. Reading is important because it is good for your overall well-being. Once you start reading, you experience a whole new world. When you start loving the habit of reading you eventually get addicted to it. Reading develops language skills and vocabulary. Reading books is also a way to relax and reduce stress.

                                              

        

  3. Acquiring New Skills

•     Learning new skills is a habit that helps in career, profession, business, and daily life. It can be a technological skill, business management, resume writing, designing, marketing, advertising skills or basic computer skills.

  It can be also cooking, cleaning, gardening, plantation and many thousands of other skills that we use in our daily life. There is no shortage of teachers online and offline to learn new skills.

  Consistent learning and skills development is important for everyone. It’s not only important for students, job seekers, professionals but also important for housewives, seniors citizens and leaders of various fields.

                                                                                  

                                                                                

                                                                                  

         

  4. Do things that make you happy

• Happiness is a feeling which cannot be easily explained but we all know it when we feel it. Most people associate happiness with the experience of joy and satisfaction which makes you think life is worth living. There is no doubt that everyone has experienced it and knows which things make him / her happy.
  
  In my view, the things that can make you happy can be different. For example, I am happy when I meet my friends, because we always enjoy ourselves and thus relax from the burden of everyday life. The moments when I am with my family and my relatives give me also pleasure. The fact that they are good and healthy makes me happy.

                                                                           

    5. Do Puzzles          

• Another great way to get the mind working first thing. Like reading books, solving puzzles offer a range of benefits: Improved memory, better problem-solving skills and increased IQ are just some of them. This sort of brain training can take many forms, such as jigsaws, Sudoku puzzles or crosswords which can be found/purchased easily and cheaply.

                              

                                                      

                                      

              

6. Start a DIY project

• If gardening in your free time sounds appealing, go one step further and start a DIY project. Just fixing (or learning how to fix) general things around the house may be enough for you. After. it will become apparent that it’s more than just the light bulb that needs fixing… the more time you spend at home, the more you’ll realize how much work there is to be done! With all the spare time on your hands, there’s no better time to start filtering through those odd jobs that you just never got around to.

                                                                   

                                                                        

 

       

7. Listen to more music

• In your normal office environments, it’s likely that you would listen to radio channels or no music at all. When working from home or in quarantine, you don’t have this restriction and can listen to anything you want. Why not spend time working through music albums, listening to new and potentially undiscovered music? You can listen to new music from your favourite genres or find a list of best albums for the genre and listen to them all.

                                                                         

•  These are  the ways in which you can spend your lockdown with productivity.
