We are living, without doubt, in a challenging situation. What is happening is shaking the foundations of our world at all levels: personal, professional, individual, social, and economic. Our habits, routines and rituals have been disrupted. Most cues and frames through which we could read reality seem useless now.
At least, this is what is happening to me.
And I'll be honest.
There are moments during the day in which I feel lost and powerless. It looks like no matter what we do, things keep getting worse. The flood of news and messages is not helping for sure.
This morning, I woke up and realised this tension was getting under my skin. I slept with my jaw tight, which was not a good sign.
So, this morning, I entered my meditation with the only aim to relax, let go of the stress and find peace.
And some words came up.
"I am the one who's asked to change and evolve."
When I opened my eyes, I remembered one of my all-time favourite books, "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl.
"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
So, my question for today is, How can I change to thrive in this challenging time?
