How do you view this pandemic situation? There are two options: positive or negative.
In a negative sense, you can view this situation as a force that pulls you down. Quarantine keeps you away from your dreams and ambitions. It prevents you from reaching your full potential.
However, with a positive outlook, you can see it as an opportunity to become everything you can be. Why? Because now you have the opportunity to look at things from a new perspective! You are no longer bound by the old procedures. Instead, you can explore new possibilities.
Your point of view determines your actions, so adopting a positive outlook is essential. A positive outlook will push you to take positive action with a positive attitude. Then you can get through this situation not only by surviving but also thriving.
How exactly should you view this situation?
As an opportunity to reinvent yourself. Consider this as your chance to do something new that will take your life to the next level.

1. Identify your core skills
To reinvent yourself means to take a new direction. This will most likely build on the foundation you built earlier. One of these foundations is your core skills.
For example, you might think your skill is writing articles, but your core skill may actually be the skill of connecting different ideas and communicating them.
Looking deep helps you repackage your core skills in new ways. Using the example above, article writing is just one way to express your core skills. You can find other ways.
2. Imagine new possibilities
By identifying your core skills, you can envision new opportunities. How can you use your core skills to evaluate people in new ways?
Be creative with your imagination. Don't let negative voices get in the way. Let things go in unexpected directions.
3. Build a passion for learning
Along with imagining new possibilities, you need to create a passion for learning. Because rethinking yourself requires you to learn new things along the way. If you make it a burden, you won't get very far. So make learning fun, not something that depresses you.
4. Experiment
What should you do with new opportunities that come to mind? Experiment with them! Do some research. Do side projects. Use the iteration method so you can quickly set yourself up. Here's how you can find the most promising direction for you.
5. Be creative
Whatever one may say, there will be difficulties along this path. Instead of avoiding them, expect them and be prepared. The key is your resourcefulness and ingenuity. Develop the ability to find quick and smart ways to cope with difficulties.
6. Take time to think
Going in a new direction is not easy. There are pitfalls along the way. If you're not careful, you may be chasing one thing at the expense of other more meaningful things in your life.
This is why it is important that you take the time to reflect on your life. This can be in the form of meditation, a diary, or something else. What matters is that you take time to reconnect with your deepest values.
