Changes brought on by covid

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

The covid pandemic brought on changes worldwide 🌐 and many of the world’s population struggled with those changes.

For me, it taught me to appreciate stillness and quiet.   I think it taught my dog 🐕 Lily that, too. I appreciate a slow start to my morning 🌄 routine,  whereas before the pandemic, I rushed around of a morning 🌄 struggling to do everything quickly.

My family were concerned that the isolation would bring on my mental health issues until they realised I was a person who sent my loved ones positive inspirational and funny messages.  It was at this time I started to send the morning gif to my loved one’s as a tribute to Susanna who passed away after a long battle with cancer.  In Melbourne we had the world’s longest period of lockdown and many people struggled and suffered as a result of that.  I know how Susanna felt that whist she was struggling with cancer, lockdowns meant she couldn’t spend what time she had with her loved one’s.  As soon as lockdowns were reduced Susanna did her best to spend time with those she loved.

I think what the pandemic taught us is that as humans we are vulnerable and need one another.  The pandemic has brought us a better understanding of mental health issues. So many people experienced mental health issues as a result of the pandemic and mental health issues are no longer are a tabboo subject.  That has been the positive thing that happened because of the pandemic.

Hopefully, the pandemic has improved our understanding of humanity and the fact that we need one another in our lives for the betterment of humanity.
