When you have to get back into a routine

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the second of a series of ten posts about cer­tain aspects of our lives during the COVID-19 cri­sis. These posts must be read in order, star­ting with the 6th post would make abso­lu­te­ly no sense to the rea­der. Enjoy rea­ding and above all, enjoy reflecting.

Let’s go back to our example of a group effect. This gentle breeze which car­ried with it a fee­ling of unease. You may have igno­red these ear­ly signs. If so, your senses are either not sharp enough or you uncons­cious­ly igno­red them. It is nor­mal not to want to pay atten­tion to cer­tain cri­sis signals, per­haps it will pass without me being inter­es­ted, why bother wor­rying about it after all? Someone will sur­ely take care of it. The stra­te­gy of burying your head in the sand can be use­ful if the cri­sis is effec­ti­ve­ly unfoun­ded or if it won’t affect you, but it can also make you lose pre­cious hours of pre­pa­ra­tion and sof­ten your cri­sis mana­ge­ment curve.

One thing is cer­tain, in my humble opi­nion, is that this stra­te­gy must have paid off in the past because it is very often used in various situa­tions. A crime is com­mit­ted around you, you weak­ly wit­ness it, you choose to look away and conti­nue on your way, tel­ling your­self that someone else must be a bet­ter wit­ness than you. The point here is not that we don’t have cou­rage in the face of life, but that we don’t have cou­rage in the face of the group.

To be conti­nued tomorrow…
