Yeah…that happened…
Anyone else have a very Covid Christmas? My hope is that you were all happy, healthy, and thriving during this holiday season! If you ended up in the sick bed, isolated from your loved ones, like I did…were you able to find the gift anyway?
I know, it sounds crazy…"Knoxy, you want me to find the gift in having Covid over Christmas, and missing the fun and festivities with my family?!" Yes, yes I do.
You see, life throws us curve balls ALL THE TIME, and it is up to us whether we will choose to be a victim of our circumstances, or if we will find the silver lining, in even the toughest situations.
I use the word “choose” specifically here, because your mindset is always a choice. When you are able to choose happiness over sadness, or resolve over victim hood, you claim victory over your circumstance! You assign meaning where there was none. You find value in the mess, and wisdom in the chaos. All it takes is a simple re-frame of your perspective and thoughts.
Did I drive 12 hours, all the way to Florida to see my family, only to test positive for Covid the very next morning, and then drive all the way home immediately after to try and mitigate the spread? Yes. Was I pretty dang upset at the thought of spending my first ever Christmas away from my family? Definitely. Did I ultimately end up finding the value in a VERY slow, and sleepy quarantined Christmas spent with a friend who also tested positive? Absolutely. It's not what I would have chosen for myself, but those are the cards I was dealt, and I made the best of it anyway. And you can too!
