WHO DO I WANT TO BE DURING COVID-19? 

As we continue to live under social distancing we learn that  so much of our experience during the coronavirus lockdown is a matter of our own perspective and choice. While we’re home we have a great opportunity to decide:

WHO DO I WANT TO BE DURING COVID-19? 

Since Mid-March we’ve seen movement through different stages of The New Normal. It’s up to us to avoid the Fear Zone – the natural first place for the Ego to go – and move right into Learning and Growth.

What zone are you in?

Fear Zone

  • Hoard food, toilet paper and medicines I don’t need.
  • I complain all the time.
  • Transmit my anger and fear related emotions to others.
  • Forward all messages to others.

Learning Zone

  • I stop compulsively consuming things that harm me, from food to news.
  • I start letting go of things that are out of my control.
  • I identify my emotions.
  • I make myself aware of the situation and think about the best way to act.
  • I verify information before I share it.
  • I acknowledge everyone is trying their best.

Growth Zone

  • Find a purpose.
  • I think of how I can help others.
  • Use my skills to service the ones in need.
  • I show empathy to myself and others.
  • I live in the present and focus on the future.
  • I keep myself emotionally happy and transmit hope.
  • I show gratefulness.
  • I find ways to adapt to changes
  • I practice calmness, patience, relationships and creativity.
