When the unplanned happens

From the time we turned page and entered 2021, I had many beautiful adventures and memories made, yet I feel I am so far away from so many things I want or I should be experiencing and accomplished by this time. Career goals, personal goals and just all around life experiences. While I know I am often playing the comparison game when it comes to all this (admit it, we all do it). I am behind or not living up to our fullest potential in life. I guess that is one of my biggest fear in life, unmet potential which is why it drives me crazy when I am feeling in a ‘life-rut’ I feel like we all set goals and expectations for ourselves and almost get in a panic when things are not on the road map we planned out in our heads.

As we go through this second lockdown in Mauritius, there goes my plans and goals, all slipping down the road. It has been a major setback. I feel like am losing my ability to thrive yet I am not taking charge and making changes in my habits or going outside my comfort zone. Am being left behind in this race.

When you feel stuck, the next thing is over-thinking. When you imagine the worst possible outcomes of your choices, it creates this pit in your stomach feeling (you felt it before right) which then cycles in your head until you suddenly feel that your whole world is falling apart.

Am sure there are many people out there like me who are feeling anxious, scared, frustrated and not just lost but somehow behind.

When you worked so hard to get that certificate or degree, to fulfill that dream of yours but then lockdown happens and you are bewildered by stagnancy and unemployment; it can easily feel like a void of nothingness so dense and so black that you cannot see anything past it.

Well, I keep hope and make every effort to stay positive and am trying to find ways to deal with it. When I find the hack, I shall share it with you. Till then, Stay Safe!From,
