With the terrible human impact COVID has wreaked, we expect many may not think of 2020 as a positive year. We certainly wish the world had never been inflicted with the pandemic. Even so, we challenged ourselves to answer the question, “Has the pandemic prompted any positive outcomes in our lives?” The truth is, there are some positives, and we hope you too will challenge yourself to think about the positives in 2020 as we move into a better 2021. It’s a good exercise and a mindset gift you can give yourself to think about what has been good in your life in 2020. Journal your thoughts and return to them the next time you encounter adversity and hardship.
