Strange isn’t it.
It took Covid-19 Quarantine/isolation, to reflect on what’s important in our daily lives. And. Upon reflection, it has highlighted exactly what I am missing during this forced lockdown.
Some people are introverts and being locked up inside for most of the day, may not mean anything new to them.
However. For those of us used to being out and about more, it has brought on the opportunity to reflect. To acknowledge. To make decisions about what might need changing or improving, in what, and how we do life.
Being told what to do, when, and how, brings back memories of being in school.
Being told where you can and cannot go also feels limiting and, can, in fact, accentuate thoughts of negative self-talk and can reinforce deeply held negative beliefs.
Having our freedom curtailed, simply by walking down the street, or going to the supermarket, can exacerbate feelings of powerlessness, of loneliness or isolation. They could be available opportunities for growth.
It’s brought up a lot of “stuff” that I have been reflecting on at a deeper level. Although list may appear trivial, these things mean, so much more.
See if you can relate to these small things whilst in isolation.
Those little things.
It’s interesting that when these things are denied how their prominence and importance in life can be recognized for what they are. Meaningful.
Sharing and caring and being involved in the simple things in life.
However, when one door shuts it allows our creative self to resource other possibilities.
This is what I learnt…
What I miss the most during Covid-19 quarantine/isolation, is the lack of freedom of choice.
– that I can go down the street when I want
– that I can sit in any café and stay there
– that I am forcefully isolated from people I want to see
For families it has given them untold amounts of together time. Good or bad.
For those parents who have children, and who are not academic, I imagine home-schooling would be stressful.
For singles it cuts them off from the little pleasures as above.
What are you doing to cope in isolation?
Do let us know. It might be fodder for a new book.
