Do you oscillate between "this is kind of ok, it's not that bad; I actually feel some relief" and "this sucks, I had a lot of goals and expectations which are now out the window?"

One day a low, the next day being ok with what today has to offer?

The Corona shock confiscated any sense of control you thought you had. As an ambitious person, this is in some sense a disaster -- it feels unfair, un-analyzable and annoying. And on the other hand: time continues, you'll reach your goal over time... this is merely a blip on a 20-30 year journey.

Corona has busted the ponzi scheme of our egos -- living with expectation for what's coming 1-2 years from now. Your focus is on today, and the next day, as 90+ days out could go in a lot of directions. Everyone is entitled to their "low" days and feeling annoyed, however, there's a silver lining in all of this -- it's the gift of letting go of the immediate next material improvement. And as you free up this energy, you can focus on who you are and what's important to you.

Now is an incredible time to lay the foundation for who you want to be 5-10 years from now. Just because you can't make it happen today, doesn't mean it's pencils down.

How are you feeling?
