Welcome to “The Elements of Being” podcast, where I dissect and explore the minds and habits of psychologists, filmmakers, writers, and industry icons. Essentially, we learn what makes them flip the switch to achieve great feats, goals, and milestones…and a chance to geek out over the psychology behind human behavior.

In this episode, I dissect the idea of a "return to normalcy" as we develop our next social and economic strategies during this crisis as well as the impact of returning to pre-COVID conditions.

Specifically, I discuss:

-The benefits of the old routine and the stimulation of the new

-The separation of routine from normalcy

-The comfort of habit and the discomfort of the physical, social, and global normalcy we experienced before the pandemic

-The return to patterns of debilitating and inflammatory physical health

-The ways we can leave a sustainable impact on our healthcare system, frontline health workers, and personal health

-The needed change in approach with social and environmental policies as well as leadership from both parties

-The possible long term effects of merely returning to a prior state without adaptation

-The opportunity of a "new normal"
