Let Crisis Re-Enchant Your World

Have U ever felt like life has little to no meaning? Have U ever wondered why some people seem keen to imagine the end of the world and approaching doom? Narratives that place our lives in the context of impending doom generate huge amounts of meaning.

Living an enchanted life requires living with meaning. We can generate meaning by applying narrative structures to our lives. Like me, U might have experienced a narrative break during this outbreak and ensuing lockdown. Perhaps U had charted a story that can no longer occur.

This crisis gives us an opportunity to create new narrative structures, that potentially include higher stakes and thus greater excitement leading to more meaning. Living in crisis carries with it inherently high levels of meaning.

If your present narrative lacks meaning, consider how a reframe might push past that.

For myself, I find the narrative of struggling against a challenging backdrop to carve out the life I want to live meaningful. Despite the adversity I Choose to Take Responsibility for my circumstances, emotions, and actions.
