Have you ever had a break from a relationship or friendship and realized the gift of perspective that time period gave you? You got a chance to look at the things that worked and things that didn’t. Thanks to the perspective COVID has given me, that is gone and gone for good!! Even if there is a gorgeous workspace for me at the office, I know for sure I won’t be returning. I know it is crazy, but I wrestled with the thought of, “Am I doing enough?” I hated that I felt that way, but it was there. In fact at my company, Pacific Perks Coffee, LLC, I give my team complete flexibility! It is part of our core values, however I still would feel guilty for working at home. You know the saying, “You can sleep when you’re dead!”īefore 2020, the option for parents to work from home was mostly a hard NO. The more you accomplished (even if not well), the more you were respected and idolized, rather than those who tried to balance their lives.
I remember people saying, “Life is crazy!” and it really was. In the past, society gave the “Badge of Honor” for working those late nights, having a non-stop schedule and/or being Supermom. I urge you to pause and take perspective before stepping onto the hamster wheel of life. Whether you are excited to have life come back or nervous about it, right now is a pivotal time (I can’t believe I used that word) to think about how you want your life to look moving forward. Still others struggle with not having the human interaction they need to thrive. However, many introverts were thrilled to see the world slow down to their kind of pace. Before COVID, some felt like they were sprinting on the hamster wheel, feeling unfulfilled with their lives and just trying to hold on. That time gave many people an unexpected gift to look at their lives before the pandemic. The pandemic was horrific in so many ways, however it did slow down the world and our personal lives for just a bit. So the masks are gone and the invitations are starting to flow in! Yay! Or is it? That really depends on who you are talking to.
