Mindfulness
An Exercise in Futility
To say the human race has undergone a shift in 2020 would probably be an understatement. Many of us went from having hectic schedules to having no schedule and for others if at all possible, the schedule became more inundated. Futures that seemed once secure and well thought out have vanished or at least become more tenuous. There has been upheaval no matter your geographic location or your socioeconomic status. Things are different. Life is different.
Understandably, all this change has lead to a lot of uncertainty. For me, I like to think I have control over events in my life, at least a bit, and when this supposed control is no longer apparent my survival instincts come to the fore with different coping mechanisms becoming the pattern of my thinking. One of those patterns for me is worry.
