Actor activist media influencer Pooja Bedi has not allowed a single moment of the lockdown to go to waste.

Says Ms Bedi, “I’ve used the lockdown for clearing massive backlogs and getting my health and wellness e-commerce venture Happy Soul launched. It’s been an incredibly productive time. My entire team has worked from their homes as well. It’s been 12 to 14 hour focused workdays for me.”

She feels far more rejuvenated after these last two months than she did earlier. “I’ve definitely got much needed rest and feeling fresher. My weight has stayed constant. But I miss the outdoors and exercise.”

Pooja has also been spending time with her children Omar and Alaya who made her Bollywood debut last year. “Time with kids has also been super-fun and meaningful. I really wish people use this lockdown to enhance their lives.”

It’s not as if Pooja is recommending a lockdown mantra for meaningful living. “This doesn’t mean it’s a productivity contest. Whether it’s strengthening relationships, reading to open their minds, or simply dreaming and creating a vision board for their future…there’s immense power in positivity, human connection and manifestation techniques. Where attention goes, energy flows and what you vibrate at is what you attract. This “time out” can be an incredible energetically transformation phase for everyone if they focus continuously on what’s positive and what they want to see manifest, rather than focus on the negatives and what they don’t want.”
