Is the New Normal really New?

Pre or post #pandemic, humanity remains driven by its emotions. These are mostly compulsive and it's the fundamental human struggle of choosing between compulsion or liberation.

The #newnormal will be hyper in its nature.

Survivors will be hyper about their Survival

Instincts will flare up. Emotions will run at an all time high. Conflicts - both inner and external will enhance. The Maslow Pyramid’s Physiological, Safety, Love & Belongingness and Self Esteem will be the key drivers for Survivors amongst us.

A flared up hyper survival will get driven by our compulsive emotions like fear, comparison, competitiveness, approvals, validations, need to prove our worth, anxiety, attention, depression, and more.

This hyper survival will be displayed in the following four ways:

Why? Because Survival is not the nature of this creation!

The #newnormal will also create hyper evolution for those of us who are living for Self Actualisation (Ref: Maslow’s Pyramid). Our ability to overcome the compulsions of our emotional drivers can be honed to perfection at a time when these emotions will surge and display their presence in our lives. For example, when I experience fear of any sort during this pandemic that I believed had been overcome or resolved by me in the past. This incident will tell me my truth, my reality. This will now form the raw material for my evolution.

And during this time, if I remain honest, real, sensitive and receptive to my own feelings, there is a lot that can be processed for my evolution.

Life is a choice for those who choose to rise above our compulsive need for survival

Any amount of business, wealth, success, fame, honour, intelligence, awards, rewards, approvals, homes, cars, love, care, sex, health, security or possessions do not satisfy the deep insatiable and involuntary emotional aspects of Physiological, Safety, Love & Belongingness or Self Esteem needs. So long as fulfilment of these survival needs is our key driver, we do not Self Actualise.

And when we choose to Self Actualise, we not only fulfil these survival needs, we go beyond….. way beyond. Conscious people are Self Driven not compulsively driven.

The post #COVID19 #newnormal requires us to pick up our choice. Else, all this will be for nothing.
