2020 has been an uphill battle for us all. From coming to terms with a global pandemic, ambiguity of extended periods of social isolation, and the blurred lines between our work and personal life – it seems like we simply can’t catch a break!
But, here’s the thing about circumstances – they are never permanent. Especially when it seems OTHERWISE. Before you dismiss this seemingly profound piece of advice, just stop for a second and thing about it. Remember when you thought you wouldn’t grow out of that awkward phase during adolescence? (Unless you were one of the lucky ones) And even though, high school insecurities are not the same as facing a global pandemic – the underlying emotion of feeling stuck and ambiguity remains the same.
Our team, much like yours, has been working crazy hours, juggling domestic duties with professional deadlines, and fighting to stay resilient and optimistic through it all. And, keeping in spirit with this unrelenting spirit, we recently started an in-house thread called “100 Ways To Stay Happy.” It’s a list of habits that each one of feels can help others find a moment of peace, and bring a smile on our otherwise tired faces. With everyone adding their own magical mantra to this list, it has become something of a joyous celebration of our individual lives, and a collective ray of sunshine – for us all.
Presenting 10 of these tried and tested methods of retaining your sanity, even in the midst of global chaos!
