COVID-19 requires we all make major life style changes. As I talked with life style change experts, the term I hear over and over is Mindfulness Training, which is learning to live in the moment.
Leading social scientists tell us that growing up we are a product of our environment. How we were treated and spoke to by our parents, siblings, teachers, classmates, etc. formed our personality and often our sense of self value or lack of self-value.
If you are lucky, you find a job which becomes your passion. In a perfect world your passion becomes your business; your business becomes a success and you live happily ever after. Than was Lisa Brys' life until tragedy struck.
Imagine you have achieved one of your life time goals at age 29. Pretty heady stuff. Life will only get better from here right? But life has plans of its own. An accident leaves you battered, broken and a wheelchair user.
What if your life altering event did not happen directly to you? What if it happened to a loved one? An illness suddenly befalls your child; your sibling is injured in an accident; or your spouse unexpectedly has a stroke.
What goes around comes around. I have recently read that a new trend is having a home funeral AKA a family directed burial, rather than using a funeral home.
The only constant in life is change, yet so often we do not like or want change. COVID-19, is changing just about everything we do personally, professionally, socially and spiritually.
Think back to a time when you wanted to speak up but didn’t. Maybe it an answer you wanted to give in school. Maybe it was an idea you had during a business meeting or a social gathering.
Lewis Carroll wrote: “IN THE END… We only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

About Life Altering Events
From the publisher's feed
Everyone has those AHA moments or events that change our lives for better or worse. These life altering events occur in every aspect of our professional, personal, and in the lives of our family. Try…
as we may, it is impossible to completely separate the events in our personal life from our professional life. Believe me, I tried and failed miserably. Life altering events present us with opportunities to seize the moment and make difference in our own life, the lives of our loved one, friends and business associates. They also can be a fork in the road where we can fall apart or pick up the pieces and start moving forward toward better times and better people. It is never too late to have the life you want and deserve. Let’s talk about it.
