It’s Okay To Feel Like A Zombie In Times Like These

This morning I was in the kitchen making some oatmeal, and I found myself staring at the pot of water, waiting for it to boil.

I don’t know how long I was standing there. Maybe a minute? Maybe two?

After a while, I snapped out of it and realized, “Oh my god! I feel like a zombie!”

I wanted to share my experience with my fiancé, Richard, so I turned to him and I saw that he was standing by the window, looking out.

However, as I looked a little closer, I realized that he wasn’t standing by the window to enjoy the view. He was standing there being a zombie too!

I had to chuckle because here we both were, having this same experience of being zombies!

This occurrence revealed to me that especially in crises like these, there are times that we will find ourselves like zombies, floating out of our body, feeling uncentered and ungrounded.

And it could strike at any moment of the day.

There’s an insightful saying that’s going around social media right now, and it says this:

“We are not working from home. We are at home, in a crisis, trying to work.”
