Coronavirus and the positive side – Part 4

Meanwhile, I left behind the being stunned about myself because actually it is not so much stunning. I am a very positive person and I am used to trying to see the positive side of all. Therefore now, the positive side on the Coronavirus. I didn’t know I would create a serial of blog articles, but well… why not. 

So let’s take a look at another positive side of the coronavirus, that – at the first look – does not seem to be so positive at all. 

It is the discomfort we feel. Not just around the topic, not just the fears that are spread, but the discomfort, that is secretly growing within us. This being grumpy in the morning, without having a real reason. The thoughts going round in circles at night so we cannot sleep. The overwhelm, also our worries about the situation, that we cannot yet change. 

And I get it. It is definitely scary, especially if you are about to lose your job or worse if you are about to lose your business you have been working for very hard. But to stick with these thoughts does not make the situation any better, does it?

And again – I know what I am saying now might seem a bit awkward at first. Because what I am saying is: forget about your worries. They don’t help you. Wait, wait, wait! Before you leave thinking I have gone crazy: I am not saying that it is wrong to think about your business. I am saying stop to worry, as this just narrows your view. What I am saying is – think in terms of chances. What can you do differently in order to adapt to this situation? That is the question you might want to ask. 

I am speaking of business at the moment, but actually, this applies to all areas of our lives. What if discomfort in a situation is nothing but the short note of life for us to take a close look at what we are doing, maybe life just wants to tell us that there is an area, that is worth to grow. To expand. In business, in life, in relationships.

So looking at it from the relationship side: maybe a feeling of discomfort with your partner is just a sign that there is something to take a look at. That there is something that can change for the better and therefore, result in a better life for us, and the initial discomfort can turn out in being something truly positive that came to us as a gift. So for example, if you feel annoyed by your partner because he is so sloppy, maybe this is a sign of you being overwhelmed, that you should take more time off to do something nice for yourself? Or for others? Or with others?

If you are still with me, chances are you feel a little bit of this discomfort and you are considering if what I am saying could be right. So why not give it a chance. It’s the coronavirus lockdown time. If nothing else, you have something to spend a little time on. So let’s for this week try to see any discomfort you feel as nothing else then a notification of your brain, that you are not using your full potential in this area, as a notification of a potential growth. And if it works for you, maybe then extend the week for as long as you need to.
