We are living in a movie plot. The world is having a pandemic event and we do not know what to do. Our normal way of life has changed in an instant. Things will return to normal again, we just do not know when. I am living on my 21 day plan. This is my mindset:
Days 0 - 7 day: We are in shock that things we do on a daily routine have vanished. We do not know how to adapt or what to do. We feel anxious and worried. Will we be safe? Will we be able to pay our bills? Where do we go from here?
Days 8 - 14: We are settling down. Businesses are making plans to run in a different way. We know that this is the new way, so our bodies and minds are adapting. A calmness takes over our anxiety. It is like stagefright. After you stand on the stage and stare at the audience, your comfort level returns to normal. We realize that life goes on and as long as we are healthy, we are strong and can get through this. We can still order in food. We can still go to the supermarket. We are free to take a walk and enjoy the outdoors.
Day 9 - 21: Things are normal but a new normal. We have adjusted to the new way of life. Schools are online so the children will still learn. The government knows more about the virus and how to safeguard its citizens. We adapt. We go on. When all is said and done, and the world opens up again, we see that life does not dictate how we will be. We do.
