With the advent of widespread vaccinations, the return to “normal” life has begun. But, after a year of protective restrictions affecting our personal freedoms, our daily habits and routines, we may be surprised to discover benefits that lie waiting for each of us at the bottom of our most difficult times. More quality family time, a welcome simplicity and a slower pace are examples frequently reported. We can use adversity in our outer lives to make the harder changes within, pivoting to make informed choices that include these values in the way we reconstruct our lives. This is Buddhist practice in action.
