Oh hey!
Thanks for joining us for another episode! Just a quick disclaimer, due to the current lockdown restrictions in Sydney, we have had to record this episode remotely so we ask that you bear with us while the sound quality might not be as good as it normally is.
Okay let’s jump right in!
We thought it would be a good idea to take the time to reflect on the lessons we have learnt during the covid-19 pandemic. In the last 2 years, life has been flipped upside down and changed quite dramatically for a lot of people. It is crazy to think that something like this could happen and bring the entire world almost to a standstill. It appears that we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and beginning to find a new normal.
Based on our reflections, our top 4 most valuable lessons that we have learnt from covid are:
Although covid has been tough, we are still able to find positives. It is important to be proud of how far we have come during this time and don’t forget to acknowledge that what you are going through and your feelings are real and valid. Recognising this, we want you to be understanding and kind to yourself and others - it is time to give yourself a break.
With all this in mind, we encourage you to look for the positives and lessons you can learn when experiencing tough times.
