Can these days of lockdown turn into creative moments?

Do you know that William Shakespeare allegedly wrote King Lear during a plague,
Sir Isaac Newton reportedly formulated the theory of gravity in quarantine in the
17th century, while Alexander Pushkin wrote some of his greatest works under
lockdown in 1830?

Despite the distress caused by the outbreak, during isolation people instinctively
try to look for positivity, therefore they can channel creativity and allow themselves
to be imaginative and propositive.

Creativity forces us to think differently, which helps us innovate solutions in all
areas of our life. That's practical in many respects, but creativity is also healing 
because it helps us reaching our full potential.




So, let’s allow ourself to be bored and see it as something good.
Embracing boredom, our mind will find ways to occupy itself. We could end up
painting — or writing — a masterpiece!”

Strange as it may seem, confinement is an opportunity to focus on pursuing new
projects or broadening one’s own knowledge by taking online courses on
various subject (painting, dancing, cooking, learning languages, accounting and
many many others).

It’s also a time to prepare ourself for what’s coming next. Of course we should not
feel under pressure to do something new but if we set aside one or two hours a day
to research and think about what we are good at and train ourself up, this can turn
a period of inactivity into one of the most creative and productive stages in our life.
Shall we?
