This Time of Uncertainty: 4 Things I’ve Learned BY VANESSA JAHNKE
What an unexpected plot twist this year has thrown us! As Covid-19 sweeps across the globe bringing life as we knew it to an abrupt halt, it’s important to reflect on any positives that this situation has taught us. Life will return back to a new “normal” and when it does, we won’t take these things for granted:
Our health is our greatest asset.
When we live in a go-go-go society, most often we feel forced to put our health last. Career stress, relationship woes, unhealthy habits—on top of all the other life issues that pop up—can take a toll on your overall health and well-being. Being forced during this time to slow down, to stay home, and to really check in on our own health and reassess our priorities has been a huge gift. If you’ve been neglecting it, now’s the time to start nurturing your health.
Prioritize time with family and friends.
Often the things most available to us in our lives, we end up taking the most for granted: our friends and family. We think they are always around and reachable, until one day the ability for a simple visit gets taken from you. Prioritize relationships and nurture healthy friendships.
