quarterly goals | episode ii
Sunday, April 12, 2020
Well, my anxiety around long-term goals and general distrust for life aged well, didn't it?! But the heart-breaking, uncertain reality of the Covid-19 epidemic is one I'm not bearing alone. I've had many conversations over the past few weeks over this 'lost' time, how I feel I'm missing out on life again. And although we all are, to an extent, I've also worked hard to reconfigure my mind so that isn't my reality or opinion. This time isn't lost, it still belongs to me, and I can do what I want with it (within the boundaries set by the government and my own morality, of course). Naturally this set of goals will reflect that, and I'm not setting my sights on anything that isn't within my reach already.
I'm also finding my mental health is improving in many ways, despite the unshakeable anxiety the Corona virus is extracting in most of us. Being home more, taking long walks in the sunshine, slowing my schedule waaaay down... these things have brought me a much broader sense of peace than I expected to feel 3 weeks into our nationwide lockdown.
Before we get stuck into our second set of goals for 2020, let's check in at what I hoped to achieve January - March.
