The coronavirus is reminding us what is important in life
We are living though a historic moment.
The whole world is adjusting to the new normal of social distancing, shelter in place, and collective uncertainty about what the next few months will bring.
All of us have been affected in big and small ways, from the stress of working and schooling from home, to the loss of jobs and even loved ones.
And while these are uncertain times, we have also been provided with opportunity to slow down and ask BIG important questions like "What really matters?" and "What kind of life to I want to live?"
Last week, I asked social media what they have learned about themselves, life, and what's important during this time.
Here are some of my favorite lessons:
1. People are everything.
2. Movement and mindfulness are key.
3. There's always so much to be thankful for.
4. We're all in this together.
What have you learned during COVID-19? Let me know in the comments below.

One homeschool project failed. Kids were suspended for fighting and teacher fired for drinking on the job!
I just hope that our new found respect for supermarket and healthcare workers results in tangible financial gains for them .

4 年I love that you put this out there, Sarah. If we reflect, there are definitely silver linings to be found during this time. More family time, time to work on your business and goals, creative time, being able to slow down.... so much more.

4 年Also that the poor, the marginalised and the minimum wage workers are the hardest hit and the most impacted as always. Ironically they are also on the frontlines taking the brunt of this virus.....the nurses, the health care workers, bus drivers, supermarket staff. Let’s not even talk about the poor and marginalised in the poorer countries. What this pandemic has done is show the ugly, gaping divide between the rich/middle-class and the poor. There is no hiding this. So while many of us fortunate with jobs and food on the table, can reflect on family bonding and mental health, there are people who are battling hunger and death on a daily basis. What we can do as the lucky few is to keep an eye out in our respective communities to volunteer and help, donate/help food banks, NGOs and anyone who is trying to make a difference.
