Do you miss nights out with friends, the simple pleasure of going out to dinner, or even a spontaneous trip to the movies?
Me too.
There's no denying the world looks different than it did a few months ago. The adjustment is difficult and downright awful at times. I spent many nights with a glass of wine in hand trying to hold it together with all the stress crushing down on my shoulders.
That's why I started my coping journal.
But that name it's such a negative mindset. To think I'm coping with this situation only made me feel worse. So I decided to change my mindset.
And you can too!
Instead of losing my mind, I decided I'd rather come out of this unique situation empowered. I wanted to try something new; start a business, learn a new hobby, spend more quality time with my family, and I challenged myself to read a book a weeka pleasure I could only dream about before this!
This bookoriginally my how am I going to get through this journalis designed to help shift your perspective like I shifted mine. I don't need weekly nights out with the girls to be happy, or to go out to eat, or even to see movies; I've redefined my idea of happiness and I'm happier now than I ever was.
Am I saying I'll never go out with friends again? Absolutely not! I'm saying I'm not viewing this as something to get through anymore. I'm viewing it as an opportunity. You don't have to cope with social distancing; you can thrive through social distancing!
