2020 was a heck of a year. We had to slow down and face all kinds of discomfort. We missed human connection. We missed travel and parties. We also missed the gym, yoga classes, dinners out, and nearly everything else.
Amid all the loss, we also gained something valuable. We were asked to draw inward, and, frankly, that's what many of us needed. It's also what the world needed. This was clear by the decrease in pollution and increase in time with nature. As the trees began to breathe, so did we.
Staying focused on the internal
The pause of 2020, though challenging, can be used as a powerful lesson to keep our minds oriented inward. Why? Because always focusing on the external world isn't healthy. Being forced to feel the discomfort of being alone and even "bored" was good medicine for modern times.
