If you have been feeling uneasy about yourself and the world this past week, you are not alone. If you stayed up late worrying about what may come, you are not alone. If you thought the world had gone mad, you are not alone. And if you felt alone, you are not. The Corona virus situation is affecting every aspect of our life, as individuals, as partners and family members, as professionals, and as a community.
This is a state of emergency, a war against an unseen, stealthy pathogen that lives among us and transmits itself using what we are best at – friendly, socially interactive people. It is threatening us all, the sick and the elderly who are most at risk of this virus, and those who are healthy and strong, who may unknowingly be carriers of the virus. All of us, on both ends of the risk spectrum, need to take the health and social etiquette orders very seriously. No one wants to be sick and no one wants to make someone else sick.
The way to circumvent transmission of this virus is to stay away from others, especially from those who are more susceptible to this disease, and isolate ourselves from our social and professional environments, and quarantine at home. Many things that we rely on for our physical and mental safety are not where they are supposed to be. We feel defenseless, vulnerable, fearing of what may come. Our way of life, our habits, everything we know that is the basis of our identity and self-worth have changed overnight.
As we follow those who are tasked with ensuring our health and safety through this crisis, a new reality is emerging. Organizations, businesses and individuals are stressed over financial, physical, and mental strains. Safety nets and realities we took for granted over a lifetime are almost instantly changed or gone. Many of us have something or someone we can rely on to get through this crunch, but many still do not.
You are not alone in this.
As you adjust yourself to better prepare for the next day, take note of your surroundings. This moment presents you with a unique opportunity for a move that could result in multiple positive outcomes. Actions that would help lift you from the situation forced upon you, and produce changes in your life’s trajectory that will benefit you beyond this period. And best – you can do it now, from the comfort of your own home.
Start this process by using this relative isolation to take a tally of your life. Concentrate on the past twelve months. Ask yourself these questions: What parts or aspects of your life would you like to change? What are you able or willing to do in order to accomplish that change? How would you go about to achieve that, what actions, in which order, and by which means?
These questions are essential to begin a journey of change. They are also basic ingredients in a coaching process that would aim to achieve the same goals. When you embark on this journey with a life coach, you equip yourself with knowledge, experience, and efficiency that will help synthesize your process of change into an effective one, and assist you in making the right moves while taking all the necessary and relevant factors into consideration.
