Feeling Out of Sorts After The Pandemic?
By Joe White
I just don’t feel like myself anymore
That is what my client said at the start of her first session. She shared that ever since the pandemic, she just can’t get back to being driven, focused, and motivated. “I just feel like I am in a funk and can’t get out.”
Many people, like my recent client, are struggling to regain their sense of self and motivation after the pandemic’s disruptions. Whether it’s the pandemic, a life change, or a personal loss, significant events can leave us feeling lost and unfocused. If you’re stuck and frustrated, here are five key steps to help you move forward:
Manage your expectations
Expectations can be tricky. We often focus on things outside our control, leading to stress and anxiety. Instead, learn to divorce your expectations and marry your standards. Focus on what you can control – your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions – and develop strategies for navigating the rest.
Reimagine your environment
The people and places you surround yourself with significantly impact you. Surround yourself with positive influences, even if it starts with just one like-minded individual. Additionally, consider changing your physical space. Update your surroundings with inspiring visuals like pictures, quotes, or colors that resonate with you currently. A fresh environment can foster a fresh perspective.
Persistence is key
While not a motivational speaker, I view myself as a “mechanic” for people’s lives. The one thing that consistently pulls me out of challenging times is perseverance. Pushing through without giving up, even when it feels difficult, is essential. We all get stuck, but we can’t give up. Keep moving forward, even if it means taking things slow.
Remember, winter’s end
Just like winter eventually gives way to spring, difficult times don’t last forever. It’s up to us to actively work through them. We can’t simply hope things will improve – we must make a conscious choice and commit to putting in the effort required to move forward.
Until next time, Rattle The Cage, Joe
