To me the pandemic is enervating. It feels like I have been punched in the stomach. I am gasping, trying to catch my breath. I refuse to give up. I am determined to accomplish something wonderful, in spite of it.
For me, my hobbies, as much as I enjoy them, are not enough. I love playing the cello, getting better, being able to play pieces that seemed impossible at first. I have accomplished a lot and I love the music, but I will never be an accomplished cellist. I also enjoy exploring on my bicycle. I will certainly never win any races.
What keeps me energized and focused, in spite of the pandemic, is my ambition to start my new career. I want to substantially improve the lives of my friends and clients through my hard work and creativity.
Getting my new career as a retirement coach going is taking more time and energy than I had anticipated. It is quite challenging. But strangely it centers me and gives me energy and even happiness. I enjoy the day-to-day work, and I look forward to having my new career up and running, to be making a difference in the lives of others.
What are you doing to overcome the energy-sapping pandemic?
