Reflections!

Hello Botlhale Hub Afrika Community

How are you? Really how are you doing? How are you feeling about everything? This year and 2020?

Let us take time to reflect.

We had our hopes and aspirations in 2020. We were ready and waiting to become the best versions of ourselves. Then a sudden twist of events took place. Well, “Covid 19” happened to us all. No lie, it did shake me. The uncertainty welcomed the anxiety all over again.

The rise of  Covid 19 cases and the deaths were heart-breaking. The job losses, pay cuts, non-traditional working conditions, restrictions and isolation were daunting. The new normal became a little abnormal for many. These events did indeed have an impact on our mental health, goals and aspirations for 2020.

I guess it’s safe to say that the crossover to 2021 was unsettling.

The thought of making plans and not being so certain that everything will work out. The uncertainty with everything from jobs, to the economy and isolation.

Please don’t despair!

Reflections:

• Embrace uncertainty because you really do not have control over everything.
• Breathe, it helps to just breathe.
• Every year comes with its set challenges and that should not hinder you from making plans.
• Believe that every challenge welcomes a measure of lessons.
• Trust the process.
• Sometimes, we do not need to change our goals just re-strategize how we will get there.
• The new normal did not come to destroy us, the realignment was a necessity.
• Have faith that it will work out for your good.
• It will happen.

The best is yet to come!
