Feeling mentally disturbed during this lockdown? Create Content.

Never underestimate the importance of mental health, especially in these troubled times.

If you've been adversely affected during the quarantine period, I can tell you that you can still get your job back, you can still spring up a business, you can still make do - provided your mind remains in the right place.

As soon as one loses determination, or surrenders to depression (yes, it's real) or becomes overly skeptical, the return to normalcy becomes a steep, uphill climb.

Although there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel, this journey might be longer than usual.

We need to gear up. Meditate. Exercise. Keep learning.

If you need help, don't shy away from seeking professional psychological assistance. There is no shame in that. In these "remote" times, an online service like BetterHelp.com can be useful.

What's worked for me personally during my hard times is creating content. It's extremely cathartic.

Build a nice deck on Canva. Record a podcast about your journey. Make a video with a unique perspective.

The act of creating content forces your mind to rearrange mental pathways into a "productivity configuration", effectively creating a hostile environment for negative thoughts.
