There is no denying that this quarantine has changed us all in some way. We have had many negative consequences, but at the same time some positive ones. For the introverted, some things have adapted to their lifestyle, for the extroverted it was a big change. The truth is that we have all been affected at one point by all this. This time Ecotrain promotes an initiative to see the positive things that the covid-19 has left with the quarantine from our perception. If you want to participate I leave you the link of the original post here
Entrepreneurship
Many people have gone into business as a result of quarantine, either through visualization and personal initiation or because the situation led them to make the decision. I know people who have started their fast-food businesses, such as seamstresses creating mouthpieces with different designs, delivery services, pastries, etc.
Search for alternatives
In view of the growing wave of unemployment we have seen the increase of new ways to obtain income either in the real or virtual world through cryptomonies. Job security is not everything, for many people who had not saved in their lives have seen the need to do so. Nothing is safe in this life, except death. It is a somewhat crude philosophy, but quite real and with all this we have realized it.
Solidarity and family unity
In many occasions we don't share much with our family because we are away from home so much, either because of our jobs or because of our leisure time away. This has led us to spend more time with our family, talk, perhaps solve some outstanding problems. To value time and our loved ones by seeing that life can go away in an instant. I know people who did not know their neighbors, all this has led to solidarity with the neighbors, extending a helping hand to those who need it without expecting something in return.
Creativity
For many of us, our creativity has been exploited to a lesser or greater extent as a liberating means. Having so much free time is really not healthy, we have to create occupations to keep our mind busy and not fall into a mental crisis. And what better way than to bring out our creativity and create different things with it. Here at Hive there have been many initiatives and competitions that have taken us out of our comfort zone and made us experience other things, acquire new knowledge and at the same time strengthen and expand our creativity.
Changing our perception
Having so much free time we have been able to analyze ourselves, make introspections and reflect on many things. We live in an accelerated society in which we do not analyze and reflect on many things like the value of life, the value of small and big things that nature offers us, we forget that someday we will die and that life is only an instant, we fall into a constant monotony without enjoying things or valuing many of the things that we are lucky to have with us, what we are capable of doing or how far we can go, the people around us or ourselves as we truly deserve it. To see if the path we are walking is the right one, if we are really happy inside. It has been a moment to see everything from another perspective and start making the necessary changes.
