… what life was like five years ago when the pandemic started?
In a very short time, our lives changed forever.
Here’s one important lesson I learned from the experience: “A crisis can be very clarifying. When you have emerged from a crisis you learn to cherish what really matters.” Scott Cochrane
While we’ve learned to live with COVID-19 (thanks to advances in medical/pharmaceutical science), we continue to face challenges in our chaotic world.
That brings me to another important lesson I learned during the lockdown: the importance of self-care that’s reinforced in asking these questions:
- What am I GRATEFUL for today?
- Who am I CHECKING IN ON or CONNECTING WITH today?
- What expectations of “normal” am I LETTING GO of today?
- How am I GETTING OUTSIDE today?
- How am I MOVING MY BODY today?
- What BEAUTY am I either creating, cultivating, or inviting in today?
These questions are helpful in reinforcing what matters: caring for one’s self and others who may be struggling these days.
Originally posted online during the pandemic as “Daily Quarantine Questions” (source unknown), the questions are timeless.
