CHECK IN CHAT: Responding Rather than Reacting During Uncertain Times
Uncertain times…
can make us act in uncertain ways.
Those who used to dive head first into tasks may now be finding themselves paralyzed with indecision.
In stark contrast, those that never had time to start their side hustles may have made more progress in the last two weeks than they had all year.
Your reaction to the current COVID-19 climate is your own and that is perfectly ok. You are where you are and that’s right where you need to be.
But , one thing I’m seeing that concerns me is a tendency to react to the moment rather than pause to respond. People are scared. And that’s either sending them into a sort of hyper-activity mode or making them shut down altogether. And I believe these spur of the moment decisions will take us further off course than if we just waited a beat.
Whatever your choices in the moment, let them be an authentic response rather than a fear-based reaction.
Your goals are still possible, even though things look a little different right now.
This week, I’m sharing my current emotional reactions to staying home, talking about the two things that do need to adapt with your side hustle, and the fact that pausing doesn’t have to be passive.
