At this crucial time in the world where there is a lockdown in most countries of the world including our Nation Nigeria as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, Singles are also part of those that are affected because of the restriction placed on movements.
However, this period can be used by Singles to invest in themselves as they are free from things that could naturally cause distractions for the married may be attention from children, demands here and there etc
Here are some of the activities that Singles can engage in at this time:
- Join in the Bible reading plan for the Year- There is so many Bible challenge that can be joined or be created amongst Singles to engage them. Singles during this time should take their devotion and fellowship with the Lord serious, it should be a time of refreshing and receiving fresh instructions from the Lord.
- Learn new skills: For example, they can learn online how to cook new recipes, weaving, making of pastries, etc- Singles can use this period of lockdown to learn new skills and part of the amazing skills to learn and improve before they get married. There are many videos on YouTube where they can learn. Likewise, they can join a platform or form a group online where they can create a video clip to teach people, they can share and earn income in the process.
- Online courses and tutorials can be taken at this time for personal development and growth-This period of lockdown should be used wisely to do things that lack of sufficient time has hindered them from doing in the past. Singles should use this time to enrich their knowledge and even obtain a certificate in the process. For example; they can visit www.polinstitute.com and many other online platforms.
- Read books and articles: Singles can also use this period to read several books and articles that can make them better both in their occupations, business, careers and ahead of interest in fulfilling their lives’ purposes.
- Self Discipline is key for singles at this time, where you are living alone if you are not disciplined you could form habits and develop certain bad addictions that could pose dangers on your life and future like oversleeping, getting used to TV, overeating, getting hooked on destructive websites (porn site), being glued to your phone, tab etc. It calls for self-discipline and accountability.
You have been intentional about your daily schedule, create time to pray, worship God, thank God in advance for your marital settlement, don’t give in to fear or depression, exercise your body and brain.
Create a learning atmosphere and work on visions and goals for the Year- this period should be maximized to position you for the opportunity and productivity after the lockdown.
No matter what is happening in the world at this time, stay positive and be disciplined about the amount of media or need you to consume, harness the opportunity in this season and you will thank God forever. This is why singles should not see this period as a time of boredom but a time to enrich their lives and bring out a better version of themselves.
May the Lord settle you, may this season not be a waste but a blessing for you
