Survival is a challenge everyday in this pandemic. The situation keeps getting worse day by day and we get to hear all sorts of depressing things from around us. The pandemic has hit the people of Delhi even harder and everyone in my family other than me is tested positive. I am just locked in a room and its quite obvious for depression and sadness to come in. I am sure there are many like my who must be facing such issues but we need to believe in ourselves and have faith.

Today i am going to tell how i try to stay healthy be it mentally or physically during this pandemic.

I usually wake up early in the morning around 4 and start my day with a good morning workout. It usually consists of a few kilometers of running and skipping. I just love to skip and get lost in the process. It is like a therapy for me.

The focus today in this blog is not the physical exercise but the importance of having a mental workout.

Rubik's cube is my go to thing whenever i wanna train my mind. It's like a source of meditation for me. Rubik's cube is a 3-D object which required combinations to reach the desired formation. It was first discovered in 1974 by Erno Rubik. It requires algorithms or combinations to solve the magical figure.

Why should one try solving a Rubik's Cube?

This Magic cube has a lot of benefits firstly it trains our mind and hence improves our memory.
Solving a Rubik's cube requires lot of perseverance and develops patience.
It helps to break down the problem in small fragments and work on them one by one. Ultimately it develops our problem solving skills.
It is like a meditation exercise and helps to keep our mind active.
We need to concentrate on our moves and quickly respond to the problem.

I feel it is a must try thing for everyone to strengthen the power of our mind. I have been working on solving the Mirror cube and could only finish solving two layers. It is a great experience for me and every time i pick it up, i feel a sense of relaxation.
