I've been looking at homes in Montana for the past two days.
This quarantine has taught me a few things.
🏔 I need to be in a place I can experience nature daily. The mountains are calling my name. small backyard views with houses next door aren't doing it for me.
🏔 Stuff doesn’t matter. I’m locked up in a house with all my stuff and it isn't bringing me joy.
I don’t want to fully go back to "normal". Well, what was normal...the rate race and keeping up with society? I want to define a new normal. A normal full of adventure, mountains and making friends all over the world.
I heard a podcast recently that it takes a drastic life event for people to reset, get healthy, and realize what they want out of life. This shutdown is that drastic life event to all of us. It's giving us the opportunity to think about the kind of life we actually want. It is forcing us to slow down, stop, and reevaluate things.
I miss travel and adventure. I'm personally setting new shorter timelines for my goals and dreams. Yes, it's been hard for many who have lost jobs and family, but it has also been a gift. It's been a shift for me.
Has it helped you reevaluate things in your world? Has there been a shift for you?
