We do have control over how we adapt to this new normal. In fact, the only thing we have control over is our personal response to the current situation. When we look back, we want to be proud of the way we showed up in the world to help. So today’s action steps are about each of us taking some time to decide what our personal performance metrics will be.

1. Make a list of people you want to see come through this crisis as a better version of themselves. 
2. Decide how you want to make those people better. For example, Do you want to help them feel stronger? more capable? More connected?

3. Take one step today to help one of these people. Reach out and offer three specific ways you can solve a problem.

When you take the focus off of yourself, you will start problem solving and this will create a positive feedback loop that will gain speed. You will feel so much better, more in control, and you will start to see that there’s bright future waiting for us on the other side, wherever it is we land.
