LIFE LESSONS IN THE TIME OF COVID

 I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CURRENT LIFE:  I AM IN A PERPETUAL INTERMISSION.  THE ACTION HAS CEASED AND I MUST LEARN PATIENCE BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES UP AGAIN.  HOW LONG THIS INTERMISSION WILL LAST IS A QUESTION THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED TODAY OR ANY TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I MUST BE PATIENT AND LEARN ACCEPTANCE . UNCERTAINTY IS MY NEW MIDDLE NAME .

 

WHAT LESSONS CAN I TAKE FROM THIS NEW UNWELCOME STATE OF AFFAIRS?

1.  I CAN TRY TO CONTROL MY RESPONSE TO CHANGE. AND ACCEPT THAT UNCERTAINTY IS MY NEW CONSTANT. 

2.  UNTIL I’M DEAD, I DON’T HAVE TO ACT AS IF I’M DYING.

3.  I CAN LOOK AT WHAT I CAN DO AND NOT FOCUS ON WHAT I CAN’T DO.

4.  I HAVE TO STOP FEARING THE WORST AND RATHER CONCENTRATE ON THE BETTER TO GENERATE HOPE.

5.  I NEED TO CULTIVATE GRATITUDE AND LOOK FOR THE GOOD, TO GROW THROUGH THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.

6.  MY CHOICE IS NOT TO SIT IN FEAR BUT TO REACH OUT AND HELP OTHERS.

7.  POSITIVE EMOTIONS CAN BE CONTAGIOUS.

8.  WE NEED TO BUILD ONE GREAT BIG COLLECTIVE SUPPORT GROUP.

9.  WE NEED TO DEVELOP RESILIENCE.

10.              WE NEED TO THRIVE TO SURVIVE.

11.              WE NEED TO EMBRACE JOY AND ACCOMPLISH WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR LIVES.

12.              THE WORDS WE USE MATTER.  WE NEED TO LOVE OURSELVES FIRST.

13.              CLEAN YOUR MIND AND GET RID OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.

14.              FOCUS ON GRATITUDE ON A DAILY BASIS, EITHER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR LAST THING AT NIGHT, OR BOTH.

15.              BELIEVE IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

16.              USE YOUR TIME TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY ONE VOICE.

17.              BELIEVE THAT SOMETIMES COURAGE IS THE QUIET VOICE AT THE END OF THE DAY SAYING “I WILL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.”

18.              SOMEDAY IS NOT A DAY OF THE WEEK.

19.              EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FEAR.

20.              REMEMBER THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF YOUR LIFE, ACCORDING TO MARK TWAIN, ARE THE DAY YOU ARE BORN AND THE DAY YOU FIND OUT WHY.
