Hai Sir and Hello everyone.. Welcome back to my podcast. I hope that you guys are in the pink of health. Okay so for this week task, I want to share about a topic of ‘The Good and the Bad of being home all the time’. Okay let’s get started. 

After more than 3 month being home all the time, I can proudly said that there have been many changes in my life whether in a good or bad. During this COVID-19 crisis, we have to stay at home and are unable to meet our friends and family. Maybe being alone during this time is particularly painful but actually being alone is not necessarily a bad thing. 

For me, it is good staying at home all the time because I don’t have to worry about impressing anyone, or plastering a fake smile to others. When I am at home, I can be 100% myself without having to worry about what people think. I can wear what I want, eat anything that I like, do and act how I want. As you know, when you go out, you are subject to conforming to what society considers “normal” which is not always very enjoyable. When you stay at home you have the freedom to just be yourself without fear of judgement. Everyone needs a little alone time to reset, recharge and rethink their priorities.  Besides, staying at home benefits not only our wellness, but also our wallet. Since we can't spend at restaurants, our favorite retail stores, hangout with friends, buy tickets to concerts or travel, our monthly expenses have drop and it benefits us. Are you agree with me sir?

However, being home all the time is fun, but there needs to be a balance in our life. Sometimes staying in, is the best option but at the same time it also affects us in many ways. Why I say like that? Okay for example when we are inside all day, we becomes more likely to be sedentary and less social, and this tends to have a negative impact on our mood. Although the need for social interaction varies in extent for each person depending upon their personality, there is always a level of need for connection with others. As for me, I prefer to hangout with my friends more than staying at home because we have our own activities like playing futsal, chatting and travelling. I miss my normal life a lot. 

Thus, I think of course there are many advantages of being home all the time but there are also some disadvantages. We have to manage our time well and balance our needs. So that’s all from me for today. See you next episode. Thank you for watching my podcast. Stay safe and byeeee.
