How Are You Holding Up? (Thinks Out Loud Episode 316)
We’ve all lost so much during this pandemic. Whether reduced business, reduced time with family and friends, or the loss of lives, it’s understandable that you might struggle at times with stress, anxiety, sadness. I know I have.
This isn’t a typical episode of Thinks Out Loud. In fact, I debated multiple times whether to skip this episode and publish another topic altogether. So, I appreciate you indulging me for this week. But I wanted to check in with you on how you’re holding up. And to let you know how I’m holding up too. The honest answer is that I’m doing "just OK." Some days good; some days not. Many of the experiences that I enjoy and rely on have been gone for the better part of a year. I know I’m not alone. And, more to the point, I know that I’m actually pretty lucky compared with lots of people. Which makes me feel bad to admit that, sometimes, it’s a struggle to keep a positive attitude. Even for someone who generally sees the world — and prefers to see the world — as a glass half full.
That said, I know we’re going to get through this. There’s hope on the horizon in the form of the vaccine. Business activity is starting to pick up. Just make sure you’re taking time for yourself to make sure you’re ready when things start looking up.
