We’re a few weeks into this thing now. The collective feeling is starting to stabilise as we accept this situation that we’re in.
The one thing that is starting to become clear, is that the world keeps turning. Of course there are industries, companies and jobs that have come to a standstill, but the world hasn’t stopped rolling. Time still moves forward and we must continue on.
We need to step into our new normal.
This may mean we need to shift our perspective on how we view work, leisure, relationships, fitness and more. Problems will need to be approached from a different angle. We will need to connect digitally rather than in person. We will need to create space at home that is conducive to work, training and down time.
This will be a challenge for many of us. Yet, if we look at this not as an inconvenience, but as a new, exciting problem to be solved, it may feel a little easier.
