What do we do when "this" is over? What will the world look like after the pandemic? We have to recognize certain things will be forever changed, as will we. Just over a year ago a pandemic took us by a storm, one that had not been seen in 100 years. The closest event to such a change was 9/11/2001. The world changed and so did we. The result is that the world is forever transformed; there is no turning back to our previous way of life. Every day we are faced with the question, how do I adapt to this New World Order?
You may have been through a major storm, or catastrophic fire and were caught by surprise. But a worldwide pandemic that locked down everything and everyone; "1whiskey-tango-foxtrot" happened? You had to figure out who to call, who had what necessary items, who needed help. No matter whether you are a single mother, leader of others, working mother, your instincts kick in and you survey the situation. You slip into autopilot and mentally start figuring out the extent of damage and/or the impact on your life.
Remember, humans actually have a resilient stress booster that kicks in as we start figuring out our next steps. Realization of the challenges leads to new attitudes and opportunities. So let's embrace our new future and think about new explorations, new vistas to find!
