The topic for today’s workshop was success and how our perception of success may have changed during lockdown. As we emerge from this **unprecedented** period, she said, we have the chance to write our own story, dictate our own rules and design a new narrative for our lives going forwards. While I know lockdown has been punishing - socially, economically and professionally, for many - the idea of being able to be someone new and enter whatever the next ‘new normal’ looks like with a renewed sense of ownership and autonomy felt very comforting indeed. It also reminded me of a recent piece penned by Lisa Toddeo’s for the Sunday Times Magazine, ‘What lockdown has taught us about FOMO’, in which she describes how lockdown has given some a new perspective on where to find, and indeed seek, joy - on our own terms at not at the behest of peer pressure. Could a post-lockdown me be a little less fraught with FOMO induced social anxiety? Silver-linings indeed.
