As we all have different views on our current situation on the pandamic, I wanted to learn about yours and of course, share mine as well. I wanted to know how you feel, are you suffering financially or mentally? How has it harmed you or how was it great for you? Check out my last post on Maslow’s hierarchy to see where you are at on the list.
As you all know 2020 was a hard year for me. I lost a loved one and the pandamic took place right after that. Prior to the pandamic, I use to work 9 – 5 downtown and my communte was 1 and half hours both ways. YES! That soulds horrible right? Well, it was terrible and I hated every bit of it.
The pandemic helped me cope, it gave me time back which, I never had. I had time to reflect and get better at my skills. I finally got time to take care on myself! I had time to work out and start a skin care routine. As you know I love working, 9 -5, traveling for work, took away time that I could have gave myself. It gave me time for self love and growth.
However, for many it was the worst. They lost their family members, their jobs, their careers, financially stability, mental health, you name it. I am good at expressing and letting things out and then getting up to get better. Many people struggle from looking past the negative which, in some cases is fair –if myfinancial stability went away, I would be at a low spot.
I came across a tiktok video and in the video the person was complaining about not being able to go to the gym. People are missing human interaction and dating and partying and the social aspect of life. I was always an introvert and more of a workaholic so it didn’t impact me as much.
So I want to know how you are coping? How do you feel about the current state of lockdown? Are you doing okay or all this mentally crippling you?
Let’s not kid anyone, we have all been there! We have all faced lost and didn’t know where this life is headed. I have felt that countless amount of times. There was a time, I basically had no skills but, I kept applying to jobs like a headless chicken. Even worst, when others are exceeding expectatoins but, you are still stuck where you are. I know that’s a discouraging feeling. My best advise for all of you who are feeling this way right now — focus on yourself and focus on getting better!
The reality is, when you work on yourself and get better at the things you do, you attract better! You attract better people, you attract better careers, and you attract better energy. If you are feeling down, if you are feeling low, then concentrate on this! Pick up a skill and make sure you are practicing that every day. Have objectives in your life and be little flexible. Don’t take life too seriously, yet, don’t slack on your goals!
Keep going everyone! We can do it! Please let me know about your goals and progress, I would love to run more about you!
I alwasy try to motivate you all by giving you tips and tricks to organize your business and invest in your future. In addition, to that I help you slow down and give you information on how to tackle mental peace, anxiety, and stress while investing in your personal and professional goals.
In my pervious blog posts I have many shared many ways you can save and work towards a project of your own during the quarantine. So let me know your success / failure stories and how far you have come.
If you have not started then I want you to start! START
I came across an article recently talking about gaps in economy and/or technogical evolution is when entrepreneurs are created. So why are you waiting?
The main problem most people have is starting because, there are many underlying factors that they think they can’t over come. For example, starting a business requires you to register it. Another delay is, how will people react? – Yes, I know that’s most of your problem. How will people react and weather your project will be successful or not?
But the point is, you will never find out if you don’t try and reach out for help! One of the things to START with is RESEARCH! Research on how other people executed the project you are intersted in. Once you get the braoder idea, reach out to at least three people who have succeeded or are in the works of creating their project to get an overview and perspective of their experience. Trust me, they will share different experiences that will be valuable to your own success.

I will share some success stories I have witnessed over the quarantine to motivate you. My friend had been let go from her job. She was depressed for a bit but then she picked up the camera she got as a gift (not too expensive) and started asking her friends and family to pose for her. She started learning how to edit the pictures. Every day she edited a picutre and became better at editing. First and foremost, she loved taking photographs. It started to become her passion. My friend started creating her portfolio which, led a fashion blogger to approach her for a photoshoot! Isn’t that just awesome? Do you know how many followers she will be exposed to now?
What does that story say? Just pick up something fun to do and keep working at it, the opportunities will follow.

My coworker was slammed with homeschooling her kids while working. She has three kids and works in IT. To de-stress she started baking a lot over the weekends. She loved baking and that was one of the ways that she dealt with her anxiety. She started posting the cakes she would bake on social media. How long did this quarantine last us? 3 months? Well, within just three months she received several orders and grew a cliental and bakes 15 cakes per weekend.

My friend was let go from the airport where she was a high ranking manager. She has marital issues and her personal life is a mess. To destress, she started painting old furniture. She would buy old furniture on Kijiji to replenish them. She would paint them looking new, added handles she bought from Kijiji or Amazon and resell them for great value. This is a boss story! This girl always inspires me to keep going!
