The emphasis of finding opportunities in time of crisis is a motivational topic hugging the social media! Yet the best effect of any crisis in introspect is mindfulness. It is being conscious and aware of the present – my simple definition of it. This contagion we call covid-19 caught us all flat-footed that started as ripple affecting personal, career and causing waves of concerns to organizations, communities until it becomes worldwide!! Ok that’s a given how does one bridge opportunities to mindfulness?
Being mindful is not simply knowing what is happening around us. It is showing empathy. Empathy is decisive response to the needs of others. Feeling concern is not enough – finding ways to provide resolution, no matter how little significant it maybe, is a one step up. One step at a time is better that just standing.
