2020. What a punch on the guts.
If you think you have
control on your life and know yourself enough, then this year just made shifts
we never saw coming.
I will not talk
conspiracy or crazy things; this is no movie. Life is enough fiction itself.
This week, I have
surprised myself looking for Webinars in my professional mailbox and googling
online events around the world. Is that what they call the new normal
everywhere in internet article and news?
That sounds cool right?
Before my main challenge
would had been finding events in my own city.
Now?! It's mainly ensuring that the time zone will play ok.
However. Let's be honest. I need an organized world around me and this pandemic, Covid, Trump type of world is too wild!
We had a 3-month lockdown in my country, meaning 3 months home when you never been home only if to sleep or to catch on late work. I was not even at my place this whole period and i na different city. And adapting to all of it was hard.
I am lucky to work for
one of the greatest companies in the world, and work been crazy this year.
How to know what boundaries you need to set when you and everyone lost all landmarks.
With all changes and
uncertainties, I discovered what is called Anxiety.
If you wake up with your
heart racing for no reason, here is a hint for you, you are most likely
Anxious.
Many of the people I
know had suffered the same, as yes, again, this 2020 is hard.
You might be lucky none
of your closed had to experience covid-19 in the middle of the chaos, and lucky for not losing your job like so many and be in a place where you have a garden or space and can breath.. But
still you have your challenges of your own and develop Anxiety.
The only think I can
advise and that helped make it just a Phase is that you have to seek help.
Mainly someone that will
remind you to look at the big picture and help you reshape your world one step
at the time.
None of us was ready for
this 2020 and if you want a happy life you have nothing to prove only do what
makes you happy.
Whatever it is you just
need to:
o Go for a walk and promenades
o Call a friend and talk
and meet with new people
o Give time and offer help…
Yes, you need to see outside yourself
o
Read books and novels or
whatever that your spirit is curious about
o
Draw, garden, play, workout.
o
Learn new things
o
And for a racing heart.
Breath. Breath a 4.7.8 or just feel yourself breathe.
We are in it all together
and no one has it all figured out.
Take care of yourselves and loved ones.
3 months to go 2020!

I totally agree with your statements ! it's been a crazy year and the best we can do is to be easy on ourselves and try to find routines and activities that will change our moods from all what's going around.
RépondreSupprimerFor sure setting boundaries will be hard as we never learned how to deal with our 'new normal' But, i see it differently: i'm setting a baseline for a future generation (not that i want them to experience a COVID20 lol)
we missed reading you btw !
Love reading your comment again and again Souf :)
SupprimerTrue to yourself, I missed reading you too. Regardless of how strange and uncertain the world became lately; and none was fully prepared for this. However, our future still depends on us and our capacity to adapt and to deal with the change. But also the ability to nourish and forge new links and relationships. So nothing is lost... We just need to look at things from a better corner.
RépondreSupprimerSo true! En plus Laurent you are in a better position to talk this 2020! :)
SupprimerThat's a year for so many new things and new closed ones in our lives <3
Happy you passed by!!
