    It always helps to build a routine around what you love to do

    From the time we wake up till we sleep

    It could making a cup a coffee to watering plants to take a walk

    Read something call whom we are closed to at particular time

    Of course the above is for whom are home in lockdown or retired

    Even otherwise what I am suggesting to build routine for oneself even after work

    We have figured what we are going to do everyday ever hour of our life

    That should include salah and qayam al layl

    One should chirpy at the least if not the happiest

    Once one gets ‘ addicted ‘ to routine he will become productive and won’t require much emotional attention

    And yes also telling oneself that I am happy and won’t let anybody loot it helps

    If you decide to smile and be happy no situation can make you sad

    That’s something we have to learn from people of color

    They’re always smiling no matter what the situation

    This phenomenon is true of them across the globe
