Struggling with 2020? You're not the only one.

Notes from Chris

Episode 1451
A listener is drained, discouraged, and disheartened with the continued struggle of 2020. How have other people managed to overcome this?

I know for myself I had a few rough weeks there for a while—and of course, my life overall is that not different during the pandemic and I also recognize that I’m not worried about losing my job, I’m healthy, and very fortunate.

Also, on that word: overcome. I’m a big believer that trying to overcome our fears or anything else that we perceive as negative is not always, if ever, the right objective. Still, I know it’s tough out there. I’ve been hearing variations of this question a lot. We talked about Zoom fatigue a while back … what about 2020 fatigue or the 2020 flu (not COVID!) in general?

"Hey there Chris, this is Ben from Denver and I’ve been following your projects for a while now. I’ve also appreciated your perspective on life.Like so many others, I'm worn out from this year. Between the protests, the pandemic, the stress surrounding the election, and everything else, I've been struggling with low-grade anxiety and "2020 fatigue." I'm just going through the motions at work (don't tell my boss!) and have a hard time getting motivated for anything beyond the basics.

I don't want to live like this, but I'm also not sure what choice I have. What have you and others been able to figure out? I know you don't have all the answers, but any tips would be helpful. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you."
