3 ways to grow yourself in a Pandemic
There is so much more to life than being stuck in a house and scrolling through social media.
Think of all the things that you'd dream of doing but didn't have the time. NOW is the time!
Personally, I've been stretched. I came home from Thailand, working from an organization - World Mission Continuum - on a day-to-day basis. Then to come back home to Canada, be in quarantine for 2 weeks, then social distance myself from the world!
I could feel sorry for myself or I can take this opportunity to start something I've always wanted to do! At the moment, I've decided to grow myself in photography, and social media by taking some online classes because I want to be more influential in reaching people through media and technology.
This Pandemic doesn’t have to stop us from growing, learning, and dreaming just because there are restrictions.
Learn something new
Something I was always taught in Asia was "If you don't know what to do, do something new." This is the time to invest in yourself, your dreams, goals and aspirations. Learn something that you are passionate about and don't be afraid to invest in yourself, like purchasing a masterclass.
There are so many resources out there online, you just have to Google it!
Read a novel
One of my favourite things to do is reading. I love to read, especially leadership novels! I am sure you have some books lying around in your house somewhere full of dust just waiting to be picked up to read. Or find that book that you started but never finished.
I promise you that you will feel so accomplished after reading those last sentences in your novel!
Write it down
There is an old proverb that says "Write the vision and make it plain." Take your journal, sit, envision and write. Take your time to express your passions and emotions all on paper. When you write it out, it becomes more real inside of your heart.
I would suggest taking quiet time, without your phone, without distractions for twenty minutes on a daily basis. Just try it and see what beautiful dreams come out from your life!
Don’t wait for something to happen in your life. Life is not always easy but we can take a bad situation and turn it around. This Pandemic is an opportunity for more growth in your life.
