Bye Bye Inner Troopers

A coin always comes with both sides.

I feel a positive side of this coronavirus outbreak is that it's showing us the time to let go of our inner troopers.

Our inner troopers have been great.
They are resilient.
They put others' needs before your need.
They feel responsible for others' wellness. ("If I don't do it, who will?")
They helped us trudge through to get things done.

But.
This outbreak may be showing us that looking after ourselves are benefitting others' wellness.

In fact, we may not have to do everything we thought we had to do.
Asking for help is not against trooper's spirit.
Asking for help is often the bravest thing you can do.✨

Yes! This is the time to be brave enough to trust that things are being looked after at your absence.

So, rest if you are not feeling well.
It could be the best thing you can do for everyone.
And it gives a chance for others to shine; you know how great it feels to be able to help others?
Taking a rest is not only beneficial for you but for others to feel good about themselves.

And I think this is really the time to embrace our technology.
Online shopping, instead of going out to the shops.
Skype meeting, instead of going out to attend a meeting.
Working online at home, instead of going to the office.
Online lectures, instead of going to school.

Meeting in person can never replace virtual meetings. But for the time like this, technology is our big friend.
..............................

Everything comes with both sides.
The negativity of the situation is magnified at this moment.
But if we are willing to see the other side, we will find it.
A pinch could be a chance.

Wishing you all a restful weekend!
