Here’s what I am personally doubling down on in my own life during all of this chaos and insanity starting now. (Some of these ideas I actually started practicing many months ago. I’m nowhere near perfect, but I really try hard.)
Be genuinely kind even when I don’t want to be which can be often these days.
Be civil especially when driving a multi-ton vehicle.
Hug anyone willing to accept a hug. Some humans don’t want to now.
Shake hands like a man. No elbow bumps.
Choose not to wear a mask-talisman and instead smile and make eye contact.
More analog (or offline) stuff, activities and less of the digital stuff. I’m thinking about buying a record player and vinyl records.
More retro and less high tech. We’ve been playing Blackjack after dinner with real money.
More physical connection and zero physical distancing. I just refuse this one.
Resist the nonsense. Resist the insanity. Resist the onslaught against what makes us really good humans.
