Getting better at pressure

As the world slowly re-awakens many of us will find ourselves in more high pressure situations than we had been in for a while. With or without COVID-19 in our lives pressure is unavoidable. It is an everyday part of life that we all have to deal with. Quite often we are experiencing pressure on a daily basis and often multiple times a day. For a long time we have lived lives where pressure comes at you from everywhere. Internal and external pressures placed on us along with being time poor are a recipe for overwhelm and for many people the cracks show in the form of poor mental and physical health outcomes, regardless of age.

We are now experiencing a period of what some are calling forced deglobalisation. 

We can resist it, be stressed and overwhelmed by it, or we can choose to be in acceptance and work with, not against the circumstances.   

The economic fallout is going to be enormous. Our governments are acting, whether you agree with those actions or not. Unlike the Great Depression, they are rolling out stimulus packages as this crisis unfolds. We can only hope they will soften the financial blow.

Child care options are quickly disappearing and so the support that we previously had leaned into to make our lives work are disappearing.

Everybody keeps saying it, we are living in unprecedented and challenging times. This COVID-19 pandemic has completely up ended so many of our lives. Many of us now find ourselves navigating the logistics of how our day to day lives will work in social isolation, where our livelihoods will come from and then also contemplating the bigger existential questions that come with this.
