The COVID-19 virus is continuously affecting our daily lives in terms of health and fitness, mental health, economy and, social. This pandemic and the consequent lockdowns have caused massive stress among people of all ages.   While many learned ways to cope with the new situation, it is irrefutable that many also did not. Reports about the rise of anxiety and weight gain during the pandemic are prevalent among countries affected by the virus. The declination of mental health is also a recorded case, wherein the young adults claim that their mental health has worsened since the pandemic. As one can conclude, the reality of COVID-19 is a sobering case. However, it is also important to point out that Coronavirus should not only be seen as a threat but also as a challenge. Among the many negative effects brought about by COVID-19, there are some positive ones it brought along as well.   The lockdown and the amount of time we spend inside our homes allow us to do some self-reflection.
