Am I being very creative and productive during the COVID19 pandemic? Or is this all just an attempt to keep from losing my shit every single day?
[music: Minor Swing]
Both? Both? Both!
Hello PaulTalkers and other viewers! Welcome to day 5 of Q-VEDA and my 24th day of self-isolating.
Since you are on the internet, I hope you have seen some posts describing how you dont have to be productive right now. There are many! They are reassuring.
I like the posts that tell you that its okay if you dont exercise.
That its okay if you dont learn a new skill.
That its okay if you dont do an internet challenge.
Its okay if you eat food and gain weight.
Its okay if you dont write.
Its okay if you dont do art.
Its okay if you dont change your clothes.
And so on.
I agree with all of those statements! They just dont work for me.
I am an introvert with anxiety and depression. In my case, that means that every day of most of my life before this pandemic hit, my tendency was to lie in bed all day doing nothing but maybe watching reruns of TV.
When the social distancing suggestion first happened in early March, I could have very easily gotten into the habit of doing nothing every day. And I dont think there would have been anything morally wrong with that.
The problem is, that would have allowed my mind to get into a state that ive been trying for years, not to get into.
So, 6 days of the week, every week, I exercise in the morning. I put on clothes to go outside. Every couple of days, I take very short drive to a nearby reservoir and run. At the end of March, I decided to post an old never-posted photo every day. Here in April, Im posting a vlog every day.
None of these things make me a good person. None of these things make me any better than someone who does none of these things.
All Im doing is trying to stay sane in a way that I hope works for me. If your best mental health is found in eating cookies in bed while wearing dirty pajamas, please do it. The fact that Im trying to do a lot is not a recommendation that you do it, nor an indictment of you if you dont.
My favorite post on this topic has been reworded a bunch of times but essentially said, You are not working from home. You are staying at home during a crisis, and trying to work. Whatever you are doing in this pandemic, if it is keeping you going, it is good. Fuck productivity, please dont worry about it.
What approach is best for you during all this? Let me know in the comments please.
And lets hope tomorrow is better.

CW: #food. Every time I would try to do a VEDA in the past, it seems I always did one cooking segment. It was usually this same dish! Here I am bringing back a Panang Curry dish!
Is this something youd eat? What would you like me to vlog about this month? Let me know in the comments, please!
