It takes 66 days for a new behaviour to become automatic. According to the experts. It takes 66 days for a new situation to become your reality. We have lived in a pandemic for way over 365 days. Your psyche has been altered. You’re a different person now. You have different expectations, different routines, different thought processes and different needs. You have a different view of life, the world and your priorities have definitely shifted. Please do not expect to bounce back into your old life, your old self after this. Not straight away. Not without some adjustments. It’s just too much pressure after all you’ve been through, You will need time, patience, kindness, understanding and you may find this hard to believe but you will also need some down time at home. You’re a different person now and that’s ok my friend. That’s ok. Just please get to know the new version of you before the locks truly lift, that way you can pave a better road out. A kinder road out. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to go back to the old you. The old you has seen so much more now. Change was inevitable.
