Introducing “Covidification”​

For this episode of The Creativity Explorer I will make a personal reflection on how Covid-19 has created positive change for me, in order to get you to think about what positive change the Coronavirus has created in your life.

Yes, Covid-19 is making millions of people very sick, and many have died – and it is also wrecking havoc with many businesses around the world. This virus is no joke. But could it also have created some positive change?

I am talking about something I call “Covidification” – which is when the Coronavirus pushes someone to finally implement a change that should have been done long ago.

Let me give you three examples of Covidification from my own life.

1) Getting a gym at home.

For years I have been thinking of building an indoor gym in one of our rooms. But I never got to it.

During the lockdown in Singapore they banned people from going to the outdoor gyms (that I would normally use) so suddenly I had no gym to go to.

It got me to buy the equipment I had always wanted and I now have my indoor gym. (And I am happy and proud to say that I today did 20 chin-ups on the pull-up bar – something I have never been close to pre-Covid.
