Socializing post COVID! It seems like we're all talking with equal parts excitement and nerves about the re-opening of the world. We discuss what happens next with the worst being behind us (knock on wood): we're traveling, we're socializing, we're networking, we're exploring.
So many questions on this topic! We chat about whether we can go back to normal. And what we're taking with us into the new normal. And whether the world is going to be more empathetic to introverts after the last 18 months.
Our discussion also (of course!) covers friendships during and now post COVID. Breck has become more mindful of friendships during COVID. Sally has done more audio and video texting. We're both excited to take these two new intentions into the post COVID world because they've felt the benefit of these new experiences.
We asked a sampling of our friends how they were feeling about the world opening back up! As we discussed and laughed about the comments that came back, we realized there is such a range of emotions about what is to come. From this:
Outrageously overjoyed to start chipping away at our hug deficit!
to this:
I've already taken two trips and have trips planned through November but when I'm in the airport I still am getting used to being around strangers it makes me a bit nervous.
At the end of the day, we encourage everyone to take their reemergence day by day, and slowly. Consider moving into the time with care and kindness towards yourself and others. We leave you with a few tips on how to manage this transition well – but we'll leave it to you to give it a listen to learn more! Enjoy!
