Your Story of Covid-19?
Whats your story of Covid-19? Which story are you telling about your experiences of ‘social distancing’, quarantine or lock-down? That story defines how you experience this crisis!
1 As the story of imposed confinement that disrupts your plans, interrupts your life & destroys your business?
What are the underlying energies behind this story?
Panic, self-righteousness, victimhood?
Are these the energies that compel people to act in their own interests (hoarding, non-observance of ‘social distancing’ guidelines)? Are people so unable to be with themselves that they constantly seek any kind of distraction?
Or
2 As the story of a journey into your inner world, an adventure into unexplored territory, filled with insights, ah-ha moments and true wisdom?
What are the underlying energies behind this story?
Gratitude, compassion, connectedness?
If you need a reminder as to why these responses are also a very real perspective on the Covid-19 crisis, watch here!
It’s no coincidence that some of the greatest scientific break-throughs, art works, inventions happened during periods of social isolation – whether imposed (Isaac Newton & Shakespeare during the bubonic plague) or chosen. Social isolation creates a space in which we can go deeper, get in touch with our inner creativity, avoid external distractions, listen to our inner voice, etc.
The story you choose to tell now defines how you experience this crisis.
It also defines the story you are passing on to others and in turn their story and their experience of getting through this momentous challenge.
Your story of the Covid-19 today also defines the story you will tell when you emerge from this crisis! This the point between ‘before’ and ‘after’, the turning point in every story.
This is the moment when you are called on to make ‘heroic’ decisions – for your own safety and well-being and those of others.
Choose your story carefully!
