Long COVID speaks as much to the management of the rest of this pandemic as the residual symptoms of the illness.
Festive music playing as I write this feels dissonant in the wake of the year that has been. Yet I have determinedly prepared for Christmas. I have much to be thankful for, my family & friends are safe and well, I still have a job!
My thoughts are with those who have not been so fortunate, and it seems selfish to complain when I know so many people are grieving their lost loved ones and livelihoods-yet acknowledging the emotional fatigue from the past year is essential to stay strong for what-ever comes next.
We don’t always realise the power we have to share our positive energy with others. Whether we are leaders of others, or just managing ourselves, this article provides timely inspiration. Best Wishes to everyone for Christmas and a better 2021. Rest, revive, repeat.
Resilience is the most fundamental quality for navigating through chaos. The belief that we have the ability and the strength to overcome obstacles and perform involves a constant balancing act, and for most it is a lifelong challenge. Without resilience we tend to act indecisively or follow directions blindly. If we are not confident that we have the necessary abilities, we risk getting paralyzed or subjected to forces beyond our control. Managing your own mind and deciding to take charge of your destiny (and helping others do the same) is where you find mental strength for the last mile.
