Never waste a good crisis! (A thread)
The Covid 19 situation is scary and at the very least, disruptive with respect to our thinking, our state of mind, our way of life, the way we express ourselves and the way we work.
The Covid 19 situation is scary and at the very least, disruptive with respect to our thinking, our state of mind, our way of life, the way we express ourselves and the way we work.
First off, my sympathies and prayers are with the victims and casualties of this horrible disease and I hope that this is not construed as insensitive or disrespectful of the difficulties we are all experiencing.
It& #39;s funny how I can& #39;t remember how many times I have wished the world would just stop so I can have a minute to catch my breath, gather my thoughts, to energize, to take a nap 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="See-no-evil monkey" aria-label="Emoji: See-no-evil monkey">, to enjoy a meal in silence, to concentrate on a movie etc and I know we all have been there.
And now Covid has come and this our world that never stops has slammed on its brakes and brought us all to a screeching halt and guess what! I complained. Me!!!! and I& #39;m complaining and I am scared and I am in a constant state of panic.
So that power nap? I have been suffering from insomnia and so sleep is running from me oh! That meal, panic won& #39;t allow me to savour any meal and now its Ramadan so https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€·" title="Person shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging">âhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="â" title="Female sign" aria-label="Emoji: Female sign">â. Gather my thoughts? Which thoughts??
All I can think about is the virus army marching down my street and crawl through my bedroom window, jump on me and forcefully infect me.
Reenergize sha? I am weak with anxiety most days and lack energy to do anything unless I really psyche myself and even that doesn& #39;t always work. You feeling me?
So I am officially guilty of wasting this time. By God& #39;s grace, we will never experience anything like this again.

But do you understand that if all goes well, WE WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS AGAIN?
Pls let that sink in...

The world will never again stop for you to catch your breath, to recalibrate, to recenter yourself, to press reset on your life, to restrategize or just watch that movie that you never had time for or read that book that you& #39;ve heard so much about or watch Game of Thrones box set
I am focusing on the silver lining because at least I can control how I use that to my advantage. I am trying to get a handle on my anxiety because it creeps up on me so I dont realise I& #39;m panicking until it is suddenly 4am and I haven& #39;t slept off though I got into bed at 11pm
. So I am using this medium to talk to myself and all of you who now have the time to read my musings.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Winking face with tongue" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face with tongue">
Keep safe, keep calm, use this time wisely - and I don& #39;t necessarily mean learn a new skill, rebuild your business, attend the millions of webinars that are bombarding us

Do that which you wished you could if you had a minute of peace, because now you have 2 weeks of peace that have been thrust upon you. Enjoy the quiet because it will not last forever. The time with the kids, savour it, it will end and you will look back on this time with regret.
Sleep! Sleep!! Sleeeeeeepppp!!!! You will never regret sleeping too much. I promise you!
Call your friends and chat or don& #39;t call your friends and enjoy a cup of tea in silence. Experience chillin& #39; like a villain!

Bask in the sunlight (inside your compound oh), walk barefoot in the grass and just enjoy the feel of the earth between your toes. Why not? It& #39;s not like you have somewhere else better to be or something better to do and even if you have, you can always do it a little later.
Give yourself a break because Covid has done the hard work for you and even God has given you the permission to chill for a bit.
NEVER WASTE A GOOD CRISIS.
Thank you for listening to my Tedtalk.
And now, I will take another nap, because I can.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
