The other side of Pandemic

We are already well informed that the Coronavirus pandemic poses many challenges and difficulties for us to face. But facing difficulties is only half the story.

The other half is a great opportunity where the world we know no longer follows the same rules: “Life”, or at least as we know it, has stopped for a while. Do you know those usual excuses? I don't have time, I'm ashamed, afraid, or whatever. Now these excuses are available to allow you to do these important things. After all, “It was just to deal with the crisis”. So, allow yourself to do something new, which is important to you, even if the thing is doing nothing. Even if you work in the quarantine, take advantage of the freedom of these excuses to allow yourself things that you couldn't before, you are free to leave much more aside now.

Be it relationships that time and routine have put aside, careers that you haven't pursued, hobbies, studies, looking after yourself, or any other priorities put aside, whatever! This is a unique opportunity to go after what you can't do before. If it doesn't do you good, then the world comes back as it was before. Now and if it does you good, it stays for life. You will be different when the pandemic passes, and you will have a more valuable life than before, and you will have discovered that you are capable of changing.

I love the example of my friend, the father of two kids aged 6 and 9, who never had time to share his passion for astronomy with them. He appealed to the joke that during the pandemic they were in a "space station". It was a success ... except for the side effect: the kids put him to exercise: “because astronauts need to exercise daily!” - His cardiologist thanks you! -. He will leave this pandemic a better father than he entered!

PS: If you are winding up to start therapy, it's a great time to take advantage of the excuse and start now. CEFI is servicing online!
