If #COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is that life does not always go according to plan. The unprecedented levels of change we have been experiencing on a global scale over the last few months have been an emotional rollercoaster on a personal level too.
Lockdown, in particular, has had the effect of making many of us review and reassess our priorities. Against the backdrop of anxiety experienced due to the pandemic ‘out there, we have had to slow down at home, giving us more time to reflect on life choices past, present , and future.
During this lockdown, many people have reported personal insights that have shaped how they want their future to unfold that is different from before. Keep an open mind and take advantage of the opportunities present for personal growth.
