How are you living your lockdown? 

The first two weeks were the worst. I was anxious and worried as was coming from one-month trip around New York, Montreal, Toronto and Paris. And it was just the time when virus spreading worldwide and when I came back to Beirut virus tests were not allowed unless you are holding symptoms. 

But was lucky enough to pass that. 

Nowadays I keep myself busy doing my two hours daily workout, I am learning Spanish via an application, a bit of Netflix series, getting more connected with my social media followers. And mostly I am happy to have time connecting with my surrounding discovering old Lebanese architecture and nature around me. 

From your active life, what do you miss the most?

I miss the most being at Gym as workout makes a big part of my life routine and being there feels home to me. 

What don't you miss?  

I don’t miss the hectic lifestyle where we have no time to connect even with our family members. 

How do you think life will be after Corona?

I don’t think any of us can be sure what’s coming next! 

I guess we had a lesson to appreciate simple things we have in our lives and to stop taking them for granted. 

A word of encouragement to our readers

I would advise not to put much pressure on ourselves in this period nor big expectations but live it day by day. 

If you manage to get out of it with a new skill or learning, let it be. 

May be learning a new language or arranging your closets or cooking that recipe you always wanted. 

Last but not least “Nothing lasts Forever” good days will be back.
