What I Learned During Quarantine
Now that I know I’ll be working from home for the remainder of 2020, I’m trying to think about how I would of reacted back in March now that I know this information. I probably would of lost my mind, I remember being so stressed about the two weeks we all thought it would take. Now that we are 136 days in it’s becoming hard to remember what life was like going to work every single day which is a little sad.
As I am trying to reminisce, I’ve decided to focus on the good and all that I learned since March 2020.
Controlled Spending
I use to spend a nauseating amount of money, it was like my main goal was to spend every dollar each month. Thinking back at it, it totally makes sense now as to why I barely had a savings and I never knew where my money went.
“It was like my main goal was to spend every dollar each month”
Now, I am in control of my money and it feels great. I tell my money what to do and not the other way around. I plan to finish the finance book I’m reading by the end of this month and I’m excited.
Not everyone is meant to stay
I have a hard time letting people go. This may have been the first time I’ve admitted it but it’s true, when people come into my life for some strange reason I expect them to stay. I understand that some come for a reason others for a season but nonetheless it still hurts when they depart. I was under the impression that I would be “good” for a while but 2020 had other plans.
We really do have food at home
I’m so particular about buying food out it’s crazy now. I’m now thinking “wait, can I recreate this meal at home?”; I spent a lot of money grocery shopping so I need to reap the benefits.
Being Still
Who knew how much running around we did until we were forced to be still. In this stillness, I think I learned myself on a deeper level. I know how to listen to my body and enjoy the simple pleasures like a warm cup of tea. It’s amazing.
