Has the Pandemic Made You Think About Or Change your Job or Lifestyle For The Better ?

Turtle

Hello, 

As we are living through this surreal time in history, I'm curious to know has any of you made any major changes for the better in your lives ? 

Has the Pandemic made you re-evaluate things, your lifestyle, work-life-balance, daily routine/rut or career ? Have you eventually switched jobs, location or are currently in-between or have you re-invented yourself in some other way ? Perhaps you have had more time to re-assess what is actually more important in this very short time each of us have on this planet ? I am not expecting Hollywood Movie, happy-ending stories of how one eventually ' fixed ' themselves or the world, I'm just curious to know, has any of this moved you in any way for the better ?

If so, It would be very interesting and hopefully encouraging to hear those stories.

Thanks, T.

  • yes the pandemic has made me re-evaluate a few things

    currently I am working from home (WFH) full time with the odd commute all the way into my office - this is entirely due to COVID.

    I want it to stay this way because it so much better for me mentally. There is no office noise chatter and politics to distract me.

    I will be applying to WFH once COVID is over, if this is declined then I am considering dropping down to part-time working because I like the way I am now.

    I having being studying Zen every day while WFH and it has changed me greatly,,,,, my anxiety has reduced, depression reduced, and i can see through many of my thoughts and I am awakened to the reality of life.  

    I am thinking of changing my career but I want to wait until COVID is over to see what my options are as it would require a lot of time/studying/money to do.

    Hope it all works out for you. I've toyed with the idea of going part time to give myself some space in the meantime.
