The reason why it happens is not too clear, whether it is due to something specific or because everything converges, but sometimes we feel good. Thinking of our wellbeing as the sum of vibrations harmonizing in the same frequency is a good first step. There is an optimum spot for wellbeing, a frequency tuned for life. It is no secret that COVID-19 has prompted deep changes in all aspects of our personal, social and professional life. We keep on facing the stress caused by uncertainty, we carry on pondering over the lesson we have learned, the things we consider essential and the aftermath of this whole situation. Life is uncertain; this is the most important lesson we have learned from the pandemic. Our expectations have changed: some of the things we considered certain have changed, others have faded and many more have been fast forwarded. You could say that out of necessity, certainty has stopped being our main goal in life, and for that matter, in our professional life too.

During lockdown, the workplace became a shelter, a place to socialize, to adapt, to gather, to collaborate; a place for action and solidarity, but also a place to rediscover our creative self, one’s own self, which is born from empathy and enables us to identify issues and look for solutions. Paradoxically, now that digital transformation is at a point of no return, people skills are gaining more prominence than any other.
The age of permanent desktops is over. We have a fabulous opportunity to redefine the non-places and the way in which we want to work. Work, the specific space, the physical space from which we project ourselves – the office, a coffee shop or our home – can finally be a place to which we can infuse our personality. A realm for realization and personal enrichment; a broadcasting station where we can tune our wellbeing frequency. More than ever before, we now appreciate kind and stimulating environments: spaces that are part of us and make us feel good, the realms, which remind us that we do have a personal purpose, that after all, the life one lives does make sense.

Last but not least, finding ways to escape and maintaining a balance between work and personal life has never been this urgent. Technology feeds neither our souls, nor our creativity. It doesn’t give a sense to what we do. Our relationships and our environment enable us to assert ourselves in our humanity, making us feel good and vibrate in the right frequency. Taking time to do unnecessary things is now as necessary as ever.
