How 2020 and covid-19 changed my life
Usually people like the New Year not only because they expect something unusual and great to happen during holidays, but also they hope that the coming year is going to bring a lot of positive changes to their lives and that they will gain new opportunities for self- realization, will have new contacts and friends and so on.
When the year 2020 started, I could not even imagine what kind of significant changes it was going to bring into my life as well as to the lives of millions of people worldwide. I think nobody could expect that we will have to face an absolutely different reality and cope with absolutely different problems, which we were used to in our normal lives. I am convinced that the year 2020 has impacted each single individual on our planet to some extent.
I heard a lot about thinking positively before, but I have always associated it with some minor everyday things, like for example conflicting with your parents. You should not feel desperate, just relax and do your best to solve the problem and leave the conflict in the past. Or when you have a difficult exam for example, you should not be tense and stressed, this will not help you to do your best during it or you might even fail. Instead, it is better to think positively and try your hardest.
The year 2020 has shown to me that the real meaning of thinking positively is much deeper and more serious in comparison to everyday problems. I have found out that there are much more problems in our lives, than I could imagine before. First of all you should constantly feel under the pressure of the risks, related to the virus. Everybody has ageing family members and realization of the fact of their current vulnerability makes you change your attitude to them and to communication with them in a different way.
Actually, any close person is at risk, thus you constantly feel that you want to protect your family, your close people from getting sick and risking their lives. I have some of my friends, who started to have psychological problems, because of the isolation and COVID -19 dangers. I did my best to support them and here I remembered again about the real meaning of thinking positively. You should think positively for the sake of other people, who turn out to be not that strong as you, either physically or mentally.
The year 2020 has revealed to me other life truths as well. For example I have learnt to appreciate the things, which I used to accept as ordinary ones before. I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with my beloved people, I appreciate the time spent outside, in the park for example, I started to like any kind of weather, as it is not that important, whether it is raining, or it is hot, you can always find the ways to comfort yourself if you continue to think positively.
I learnt how to notice some nice things and to focus upon them, instead of thinking about dangers, related to coronavirus and plunging into depression. I have experienced the pleasure of physical exercise without any specially organized conditions, just at home or in the park near my home. From now on my regular sport activities contribute to my way of positive thinking. I continue to exercise my positive thinking and to add new notes and aspects to it. I become more open towards new experiences and ideas in my life and this is the most important change, which happened to me in 2020.
