15. We Get to Reset

For the ‘Live Up To You’ 2020 project we post one little wellbeing idea/suggestion/technique each week that you and your friends are welcome to self-experiment with in your life and see how it works for you. My sister in law shared this with me and I love it. This is from a poet and he writes simple poems for complicated times. Here is a link to his website www.probablytomfoolery.com

A Chance to Reset

Who could ever have imagined the story of 2020?

We have been forced to live differently, where our individual needs have been superseded by the ‘collective good' of many. It has not been easy, but it is a chance to consider a reset. I know with living through the Christchurch Earthquakes that although, it was the ‘hardest time’, it was a time where we collectively focused on what was important and it bought out the best in many. However, life has a way of ‘getting in the way’ and wearing you down, pulling you away from what really matters. So before we get thrust back into the ‘rat race’ and the pressures of ‘making up for lost time’, maybe just slow down and ponder on a few of those big life questions:

• what makes a good life?

• what’s most important?

• how do we live in a way moving forward that is inline with our values?

Here is a printable PDF template with a few of these questions that you are welcome to use.
