When things happen unexpectedly, Adapt, Don't Quit

Have your plans had to change drastically due to the pandemic?

I understand it can be frustrating, disheartening and upsetting that we have found ourselves in positions we never thought we'd be in.

This time last year I had just finished a two week trip in Canada and visited my friends who were living there. Never could we have imagined one year later the new way of the world.

I left my job to go travelling South America for 6 months+ and we were supposed to go this month. However after I handed in my notice the pandemic started. I've only dreamed about this trip for the last 8 years so you can imagine how disheartening it was to realise I could no longer go. I had to adapt and look at my options as travel was no longer one. I took my side business of Career & Mindset Coaching full time and I'm on the journey of entrepreneurship. It isn't easy but it is something I love and I'm still planning to travel when it's safe to do so, as I don't want to give up on my dream.

My message to you is, if you had plans that you had to change or cancel or you find yourself in a position you never wanted to be in, don't quit and don't give up. Adapt to your situation and make it a positive as best you can. It'll just be a slightly different path you have to take for the moment.

Are there any plans you had to change because of the pandemic? How are you coping with them? Comment below and let me know 😊
