Power outages are never welcome. You might be cooking a decisions meal for your family or you have arranged a family movie night and to your dismay, the power goes out. You are not sure what to do, and you keep on cursing your destiny for this thing to happen at this time only.
While power outages are rarely under out control, our mind is. So, instead of losing our temper, we can remain calm and creative. Here are some ideas to apply when facing a power outage.
Play a game – Charades, board games, tic-tac-toe, and there are plenty of options you can do to pass your time. In case you had arranged a friend’s party or a family dinner, you have more members at home. So, everyone can participate in the game and enjoy their time. The least you can do is to let each one talk their heart out. It is always good to hear stories about friends and family.
Read a book – You do not need the light of a chandelier to read a book, you can do it under an emergency light as well. If you are alone at home and want to pass your time until the power resumes, you should simply pick a book and start reading.
Write a letter – In a world where virtual chats and video calls are common, you should appreciate writing a letter to a close friend. A handwritten letter is a great way to express your thoughts and feelings. It can also be a great way to store a tangible memory.
