When you encounter a life-altering experience and imagine you’re never going to rise from it again, it’s not because you’ve not waded through tough times before.

It’s because deep down, you realize it’s time to create the shift you need to accommodate a new version of yourself and your life.

Although it feels unbearable at first, this is what ushers in the breakthrough that awaits us on the other side of the situation. COVID -19 has been the highlight of 2020, altering the entire trajectory of our lives.

Fortunately, the silver lining of everything falling apart during this pandemic means an awakening of our lives in a way that transforms us. These 12 truths will reveal how you’ll change after COVID -19.

1. You’ll no longer fit into your normal. You won’t be able to go back to your old routines because life as you once knew it would have changed color. You’ll get used to the current shifts and settle into them.

You’ll adopt new coping mechanisms for uncomfortable situations. Your priorities, routines, and habits, will be overhauled, bringing to the surface only what’s truly important.

2. You’ll step into your new life, armed with a renewed sense of real freedom. You’ll appreciate the pleasure of a long walk, the chatter of kids in the park, and the thrill of a kick-ass workout at the gym.

You’ll no longer complain about taking a bus ride to work or hopping into a train to go into the city. You’ll plan your next holiday to a far off country.

3. You’ll fully internalize the wisdom that the best things in life are free. like fresh air, waking up next to the love of your life, a smile from a stranger, a friend you care about on the other side of the phone, and happy memories.

4. You’ll appreciate hugs more than ever before.

5. You’ll not only be more hygienic at a physical level; you’ll also clean up unnecessary people from your life, finally abdicating yourself from seeking their validation or justifying yourself to them.
