The Coronavirus and the positive side
Yes guys, this is what I am coming up with. I have read too many things – too many chatters, too many complaints, too many worries. And I get it. It is scary. If you want.
Why am I saying this, and why am I saying it this way? Because even though some might be afraid of losing their existance economically, even though some might be afraid to lose loved ones or getting it themselves and theirfore, losing their own lives… See I have been tought to look at the positive side of everything. Why don’t we together? And just to answer that before: Am I afraid? Well, a bit concerned about people I love, that are within the risk group. For myself not so much. I am in quarantene, so don’t you think I don’t know what I am talking about. But I am fine and I will be fine.
So here are my thoughts: the coronavirus acutally forces me to take a step back. A step back from traveling, from attending events, from living an active live. True. But somehow, it’s ok. I have been at high pace, so I am quite in peace with slowing down and be in reflection mode. I have a lot of time for everything, that is a bit short because of being away so much. I have a lot of time to invest into thoughts about my work, my life, me. I have time. When was the last time you really had time? I mean for yourself. Not to be with others, not to disconnect or to distract yourself, but to really be with yourself and you alone? Or have you ever?
So why don’t we take this as a challenge? I mean not a big one, and obviously not one that we have to win. Just one, that might impact your life to the positive in the future? As a challenge to do something different? That will not be so difficult, as it is different per se.
So maybe take a little change – on your health? Being and staying healthy is something quite attractive at the moment anyways. So instead of nagging that you cannot go out, maybe try to do some exercise at home? There have literally never been more online classes ever before. Or take a walk in the woods, they do not give you corona. Or maybe you try to eat clean, to boost your immune system? How is your liver doing? The liver is responsible to clean out anything that might harm you, so why don’t you give it a rest to make it strong for whatever it has to deal with next?
Let’s give coffee a break, there is no need to be super awake in the early morning, you are ok to stay home. Why not try if it is really the coffee that wakes you up, or the myth, that is posted around it? Don’t misunderstand me, I do not have any intention of keep you away from it forever, but you know just knowing you do not need it kind of makes you free.
Acutally, this is what happens with basically everything in life: coffee, zigarettes, pills, people… everything that you do not need, that you know you do not depend on makes you free. Because having it then becomes a choice. Think about it for a momemt: could that be some positive inspiration for your relationships? Knowing that your partner is a choice, and you are too? And the both of you did choose to stick together? Maybe not today, maybe to day you had to, but any other day before. And if you continue to choose each others every day consciously, wouldn’t that be amazing? Wouldn’t you immediately feel more loved, more responsible and more grateful?
Maybe you take a moment for yourself, do something nice for yourself. Maybe you just sit in the sun, you take a bubble bath, you read a book. How much time do you have for this? Is this maybe a good time to go back to yourself and remember?
Just saying. Maybe you read this and think: what a crap. But maybe some of these things make you think and you give one little thought a try – only one step at a time please, no need to overarchieve…
Be healthy. Be great. Be you! Now is the time.
