Rajni Pandey, the manager of international partnerships for tour operator Culture Holidays, has sent this message to the worlds travel professionals.
We know this situation is quite stressful for everyone especially travel industry. I know people are losing jobs, experiencing loss in businesses and many other things. In our country, we are having lockdown and our offices are closed. Obviously it is having an impact on the business.
It is normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during such situation. But do you think that taking the stress or just worrying about the problem will help?
Is this situation under your control? No, so it is better to focus on what you can control or what you can't control. This situation is not in your control, but don't you think that many people are even in a worst case scenario than you are? You still have many blessings which you can be thankful for. Shouldn't you be thankful that you are still alive and breathing, you are having a house to live in, you are having food to eat, you are have the internet ? that's why you can still work and create opportunities. The more thankful you are, the more beauty you will certainly see.
Understand that whatever you focus on, you experience, because, anywhere focus goes, power flows. If you're continuously guiding focus on what you can't manage, exactly how are you going to really feel? It's purposeless to frequently focus on what's stressful if your desire is to make it better. Unless.you're acting to create actual adjustment, you'll. have no chance to suffer delight unless your focus is guided towards your objective. Stressing over circumstances outside your control will lead to undesirable anxiety. Just take into consideration the physiological and emotional toll it can take on your body
When you focus on what's missing from your life, you will be left with feelings of emptiness and unhappiness. When you concentrate on what you do have, you will certainly experience real gratitude. Training yourself for gratefulness will create endless chances for you. The key to success is to understand that while we do not have control over a number of the universal pressures, we do have control over exactly how we react to it and what we select to concentrate on.
Stay safe, stay thankful... We all will be out of this situation soon.
