Growing in the New Normal

Blooming in uncertainty is difficult, but not impossible

I’ve been working from home the past couple of weeks and it’s definitely been different. It feels different. The shelter-in-place order feels like I’m living in a dream and I can’t get out. Inception, anyone?

I didn’t think that we’d be living part of 2020 staying inside, 100% of the time. At the start of every new year, you hope that the year will bring you great things. Maybe you thought that 2020 was going to be the year where you traveled the world, discovered new heights, and pursued your passions. Once the order came around, it seemed that all was lost and our future was grim.

But, does it have to be that way?

While it took some time for me to accept the new normal, I discovered some tips to help ease the transition:

  1. Think positive. You can’t change your situation, but you can change your mindset, attitude, and actions. Think about it.
  2. Know that other people are struggling too. You are not the only one that feel the way that you do. Call up your friend and say “hi.” Maybe they need it more than you think they do.
  3. Pray and have hope. We don’t know when things will get better, but it will. How do I know? I don’t, but I have hope.

Hope this helps, and that you’re staying safe!
