Ep 50 – Qs to reflect on when feeling lost
By Shweta
Has COVID left you feeling lost and foggy? You do the same routine over and over again and are starting to feel directionless? You don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, when all of this will end, what normalcy we return to, what you’re going to do next or just feel numb.
Life has definitely not been the same in the last 1 year. We’ve all faced some form of our worst fear – death, loss, safety, security. And a part of us has probably changed beyond recognition.
Regardless of whether we like our current situation though, we’re forced to come to terms with and deal with it. We can do this with as much resistance or in effortless ease. Explore if you’re still feeling some level of resistance/anger – thoughts like
Oh I hate this COVID….
If not for COVID my life would be…
COVID ruined my plans…
Complete acceptance is the first step towards dealing with any change. So work on your realization that the situation is beyond your control and that this is the reality you must face. Once you’ve reached some level of acceptance, here are some questions that you can explore for yourself to find your way back from this lost feeling
- What excites you in your day-to-day routines?
- What drains you of energy in your everyday rigor?
- How can you do more of what excites you?
- Can you change aspects in your life that are draining you?
- How can you accept what drains you and cannot be modified?
Most important of all remember you are not alone. We are all facing our worst demons as this pandemic prolongs. If possible, look at this situation as a gift, an opportunity to reinvent yourself.
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
– Henry David Thoreau
