9+ months down…3+ more to go….2020

It seems everyone is waiting for 2020 to end soon, to be done with. Has it really been so bad? For sure it has been a totally different year, one that would certainly be remembered in history.

A year where the humans had to be home, grounded. However, didn’t it also teach us some very good lessons? We might have the latest technology and be the most advanced in everything, but we were all grounded, and some still are.

Whilst everything was happening around me, when I reflect back 2020, has thought me a lot. A lot of lessons for sure in 9 months, and things I will treasure.

Here they go…

1.      Remote work – working from home 100% was never heard of, now some companies are wondering if they really need to go back to an office?

2.      The world of learning – virtual learning has opened in the last few months. This gives you access to so much. If you want to learn something new, there is so much out there. Getting the bite size learning sessions done for HRP during lock-down in SL, was something I loved doing.

3.      Reduction of the carbon footprint – do we really need to always travel? Can we use delivery? can’t we reduce our movements?

4.      Networking and re connecting with people around the world thanks to zoom!

5.      I learnt that there is more time in my day – In addition to my full-time job, I managed to find time to help my dad with his business, enroll for a coaching class and help friends to set up some new ventures.

6.      Realized I needed some time for myself as well – and got a liking to yoga, In addition to my normal physical fitness routines

7.      Experimented with some cooking, which brought out some master chef look alike dishes ??

Most importantly thanks to my coaching course, I learned to focus on the possible and positive and that is my advice to all of you out there who are waiting for 2020 to finish…There are still 3 months , if you haven’t done so already, do something for yourself which will make you remember 2020 as a special year for what you did! Good luck!
