How are you coping with the radical lifestyle changes brought upon us by the Coronavirus?
While some may see this period as a Global time-out to heal the earth and work on ourselves, others see it as forced retirement, they begin to fathom what life will be like when this is all over.
Indeed, our lifestyles have changed drastically; more so to survive. Companies are forced to downsize their workforces and apply work-from-home methods, while schools have no choice but to move their learning environment online. Though these adjustments are made to limit the spread of the virus, they also affect our daily activities, human interaction, and life after this crisis.
Many of us may be at home reminiscing the days we hugged freely, hang out with friends and family, or even something as simple as taking a walk around our neighbourhoods. While we indulge in the memories of the outside world and the significance of never taking anything for granted, it is imperative that we see the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis in optimistic terms.
Surely, we are tired of being home and would love for things to go back to the way they were, but let’s not be so quick to do so. Take the time to bask in your creativity, reconnect with loved ones through the many social platforms provided for us to feel as close to reality as we possibly can. Learn a new skill, enhance the existing ones, enjoy the comfort of working from home in
whatever you feel comfortable in, but most importantly enjoy the long weekend we secretly
yearned for all these years.
The short-term implications of this virus are very evident globally, but the long-term
consequences of how it will reshape lifestyle changes are still the big question on everyone’s
minds. Before we stress about what life will be like at the end of this crisis, remember that the
future is uncertain and anything is possible. Be open to the possibility that when this is all over,
things may be far off from the normal life we are now anticipating, however, do not dwell on the
negatives of what could be, but hope for the best and harness the blessings you have in this
present time.
