There has been a lot of talk about what life will look like post-COVID-19 lockdown. Recently, what has been most compelling to me about the future is how this experience will shape our relationship with control.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been eye-opening for everyone. It has certainly provided an excellent opportunity to evaluate our expectations for how life “should” go, and what the implications of not having that type of control are.
It’s my hope that this collective experience sparks an awakening in people. And that as individual people and as a society alike, we will stop letting fears and insecurities guide and govern our decision making. Rather, I hope to find that we become more intentional and at peace with how we choose to live our lives.
I’m excited to explore this topic with you today!
