Activities to do when load shedding occurs

Election season is over and citizens’ votes possibly brought them a step closer to their idea of the promised land.

However, load shedding has reared its ugly head again, but to stay sane in this world, one has to look at the brighter side of things.

The best way to deal with scheduled power outages is to distract yourself with activities. Here are some activities to assist an individual during load shedding:

• There is never a wrong time for a games night especially when passing time. If you are at home with close friends or family and have an abundance of board games or even one, this calls for the the perfect opportunity to bond with your inner circle while sharing some laughs.
• Life and responsibilities have the tendency to distract individuals from completing their tasks or to-do list. The most common thing that people have on their list is finishing a book. With that being said, take the time to start or to finish a book that has been on your bookshelf for a while.
• Another thing is to check up on your families and close friends. You do not have to travel to them, a simple call or message will do.
  Exercising or taking walks is highly recommended. Your physical and mental health will get a boost.
• Last but not least, self reflection – analyse and evaluate yourself by asking key questions which will help you understand where you are in life and what you want to accomplish. This helps with self progression.

Not all load shedding schedules are set for one specific timeframe, be spontaneous and creative. Use whatever activity that is fit for the time of the load shedding. For example, exercising during the day and maybe play games during the night with the presence of flashlights.
