Adulting This Pandemic

 If this pandemic has taught me anything it's that you ought to become a responsible and smart person to survive and enjoy this life. Take charge of your life and oversee things to add more meaning to your life. When you take on more tasks, you have a continuous pursuit that would preoccupy you and develop or improve you as a person. When you've got the brains and willingness to manage, you would have better opportunities presented to you. You have better access to things like products, services, and even experiences when you become smart and apply what you know. So take risks, learn, and take action. It's part of adulting to constantly change anyway.

If you're in your twenties or thirties then you might be able to relate with me because I'm in that age range. Now, at this time, we're the young adults. As some people would say, it's our turn to run things. Because of such, it makes sense to work on our way of thinking and capabilities. As grown-ups, the new generation may be dependent on us for our input. That is to get knowledge and wisdom. We might not always be experts but we can certainly do something about what we know and can do to become better. In doing so, we'll have what it takes to help others and ourselves.

At this time, with the work-from-home arrangement, it would be wise to make some changes to or start a couple of things. Here are some subjects that you may want to think about:

  • Finances
  • Health
  • Physical Activities and Nutrition
  • Ongoing Education
  • Work-Life Balance
Money matters become important when you're an adult. If you haven't thought much about it when you were younger then you should start learning about it as soon as possible. That's because it's with resources that you could not only survive but also feel comfortable and have what it takes to enjoy life. This means that you have to know how to not only save but also use your earnings. Learn how to create a habit of depositing your money somewhere safe. At the same time, make an effort to use your funds to invest. Let the money work for you so that you won't work for it anymore. So, as early as possible, try to do some budgeting. List down your bills to pay, plans for leisure and items, and then investment pursuits.

Since you will have to take care of yourself and others, you should know about matters regarding the health. That is to say, learn about being and staying healthy while knowing how to face disease and infirmities. When it comes to becoming or staying healthy, normal people have the option to exercise regularly and also do something about their nutrition. That is to say, folks can do moderately intense cardio and weight training at least twice or three times in a way. As for the eating part, the calorie and nutrient intake should be right based on one's age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. Since being sick happens, a person ought to know when and how to rest, eat well, seek medical treatment, and become hospitalized. Knowing first-aid treatment and the use of common drugs would be wise. It would be best to make one's self familiar with how the healthcare system works too. These may be a lot but have to be learned by most adults.

Even if it's important to make an effort to make one's self prepared and wealthy, everything isn't about work. Mental health matters too. That's why, as an adult, you must know how to cope well with stress and to give yourself the time to relax. A lot of grown people aren't that knowledgeable when it comes to these things because they focus on working too much. So make yourself aware of how you are when it comes to your professional and personal life. When you can see your situation, you can react to it better.
