Why The "New Normal" Is BS and Problems With Media Coverage Of Coronavirus (Covid-19)
The media have continued to use the term "new normal" in a life after Covid 19. Watching the news could have many people believe that coronavirus will cause the United States and the world in general to never be the same again. Many videos and articles have been made to suggest that the "new normal" will include everyone wearing masks, restaurants having less seating, airlines taking less passengers, and the ways we interact with each other will never be the same again. Even sporting events, festivals, and any other large gathering of people are said to be a thing of the past never to return to the world we once knew. But I beg to differ. The new normal is not sustainable. Businesses cannot stay open and survive in a world that is restricted by spacing guidelines. People cannot live in a world of permanent social distancing and mask wearing. The economy and society in general can only operate like it has been during nationwide lockdown and quarantine for a temporary amount of time. However, in the long run, life as we know it (for the most part) needs to return back to normalcy. These of course are all my own opinion. Covid 19 is still a deadly virus that we still need to take seriously, but at some point things will need to change.

Have Gratitude, Be Thankful For What You DO Have - #8
No matter your situation in life, there is so much to be thankful for. But many people tend to lose sight of what is important in life, instead focusing on the small things that don't really matter but contribute to so much unneeded stress and anger. In my line of work, I see people who seem to have it all, a big house, nice cars, and expensive luxury goods. But many times they come across as so unhappy about the smallest imperfections in material possessions.
There seems to be a great lack of gratitude coming from many people who fail to take a step back, look at the things they do have, and be thankful. Being aware of just how lucky you really are and the good things that exist in your life can really help to change your mindset and be an overall more positive person who doesn't get stuck on the small things.
