Important Questions To Ask During The Pandemic

By: Diane Lang

We find ourselves in a new norm with a situation none of us have ever been through before. The pandemic has brought a plethora of anxiety, stress, panic, anger, sadness and fear. People are scrambling to keep their sanity.

With the pandemic upon us, a question keeps arising for many of us. When this pandemic is all over and things go back to normal – do you even want to go back to that norm? Do you want to go back to the way things were? 

Do you want to continue to work 60-80 hours a week? 

Do you want to be tied down to your phones and tablets? 

Do you constantly want to be multi-tasking just to get your daily to do list done? 

Do you always want to feel stressed and overwhelmed? Do you want to find yourself on the bottom of your priority list? 

Do you want to be living on little to no sleep? 

Do you want to be in careers you don’t like, relationships you settled for or friendships that don’t serve you anymore?

We will all be stuck in our houses for a while and the best thing we can do for ourselves is re-evaluate who we were and who we want to be? 

We are stuck in the grey area, the in between. We all have the time to think the questions above through and make choices that aren’t rushed or done through fear or anger. This is a time for clarity. This is the time to take care of you and not feel selfish or guilty for it. It’s the time to learn NO is a complete sentence. It’s a time to learn your emotional health is just as important as your physical health, it’s a time to realize doing nothing is sometimes just what you needed. It’s a time to realize self-care is a necessity. 

My suggestions for the short term is a re-evaluation and a start of a new chapter. I see this pandemic as a gift. A gift of quality time with yourself and your family. Use this time wisely!
