Through the journey of life there are always ups and downs, but there are also tunnels. Unexpected darkness that suddenly turn our life upside down. I was really hopeful that this past Christmas would be celebrated free from the worry of getting sick or getting someone sick from the virus. Now I’m not so sure how far ahead the light in the end of the tunnel lies.
The fact is no one really knows. Some say thanks to Omicron the pandemic will turn into endemic. But no one expected a mutation to come so fast and to be so contagious. So Is the right tactic to keep waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel or should we change our thinking ? What is you light that leads you through the darkness of the tunnel ?
For me I often try to compartmentalize problematic periods in my life. I won’t ignore the problem completely, it’s impossible. But I make sure that each morning I plan something that will bring me happiness and joy in the evening. It can be simple things, like watching a nice movie, eating something nice or reading a book. This activity then becomes a relief and you feel more in control of the bad situation as you have made a plan so that it won’t take up the whole evening thinking about it.
What metaphorical light do you use to guide you through dark moments in your life ?
