I relate to your experience. In some ways, we had complete control over our time. As a high-energy person, I manically cleaned my house every day. Eventually, the millions of thoughts racing through my head and the checklist of to dos dissipated. I didn't have to keep up with my busy life and why did I make my life so busy?
Instead of rushing here and doing that, I started writing again. I started woodworking again. I started to be present again. Gardening! Why hadn't I realized gardening centers me and growing food to share with others is happiness? What was I doing pre-Covid that made me happy?
The personal perspective has been incredible, and I realize I'm fortunate, but many people struggled and still struggle. Covid revealed our structure of society isn't healthy. Hopefully, the transition to the post-Covid world brings positive change for everyone. xo
