Exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between, possibilities are the stages of "emerging adulthood." In this week's episode, Kevin and Niseema explore how these stages are paralleling people's feelings about emerging from the quarantine. The Age of emerging adulthood is 18 - 29 and signifies a transition into a knowing of self, one's direction, and purpose. During this time in life we lay the groundwork for what we hope will be an expression of our inner nature. What was your emergence into adulthood like? Did you have a clear vision and work towards it, or did you flounder and move from job to job, self to self. You might have self-medicated any anxiety because of not know who you were or what you wanted. During quarantine many people felt the opportunity to finally ask the question, "What do I want?"
Living for more than a year under the unseen threat of Covid19 has forced many people to see what they have been tolerating: an unfulfilling job, a failing relationship, living in a place that no longer suits you, etc... In Part 2 of this series next week, Kevin and Niseema will dive into the stages of Self Focus and Possibilities as we begin to fully emerge and move into new relationships, new environments, new jobs and for many, a new life.
