#COVID-19 10 Reasons Why Playtime is Over
Please do not misunderstand me. I am a proponent of going all out every day, ALL THE TIME. I always aspire to operate under the mindset that tomorrow is not guaranteed, just like many of you do. However, different situations and phases of life cause us to make adjustments that may not have been in the plan initially. This is why we have to train our minds to be as versatile as possible in the most challenging of times. Obviously, dealing with the #COVID19 crisis is definitely a challenging time. That said, PLAY TIME IS DEFINITELY OVER:
(In no particular order)
1. DIET - Even though I consider myself a fairly clean eater, that fact alone is not good enough now. Snacking has been completely cut out and thus 1,500 calories a day have been removed from my diet...
2. ORGANIZATION - All files, records, documents, whether hardcopy or soft, WILL BE ORGANIZED to a tee...
3. WASTE - Any unused or loose item in the house that is not memorabilia with a high sentimental value, IS GETTING TOSSED...
4. WORKOUTS - I'm still heavily involved in my daily sweat challenge (whether I sweat or not). In May, it will be 730 days in a row. HOWEVER, I am retooling my workouts to where the emphasis is for me to be as light as possible for the remainder of my life. In essence, I may be in decent shape now; but I will weigh a lot less in the future...and still hope to be in decent shape...
5. TECHNOLOGY - No stone will be unturned as far as learning every aspect of "Live" apps, webcams, internet audio, streaming, video editing, audio production, E-communication, and E-commerce...
6. HOUSE - I cannot stand housework. But my place will be spic and span AT ALL TIMES. And yes, it's supposed to be that way; but hey when you're on your grind, sometimes it's not...
7. FRIENDSHIPS/RELATIONSHIPS - They will be shored up...that is, if they're truly there. Sometimes people "dial out" and call you friend just to save face. Not worrying about mending fences in "just because" friendships/relationships. But all that are GENUINELY existing and salvageable, WILL BE REINFORCED...
8. FAMILY - Gonna love the heyal outta them at ALL TIMES...
9. BRAND - Every task, upgrade, enhancement, training, refinement effort that was not executed previously, WILL BE EXECUTED NOW...
10. FEAR/INSECURITIES - I'm not one who usually governs myself off of fear and insecurities. But as a human being, yes I have some fears and some insecurities. HOWEVER, they will not stop me from going forward, accomplishing goals, and assisting others during the process.
BONUS/THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THEM ALL - Trusting God and following His guidance like never before.
CONCLUSION: Yes, COVID-19 is influencing us to take longer looks at the various aspects of our life; but at the same time, creating a shorter window between the time we think about something and the time we take action on it. With that, everyone please be safe, stay healthy, and take every moment during this time to find ways to improve your life, and lives of others - GOD BLESS.
