I started a new adventure in my life on February 29th. I arrived in India positive and determined to collect cultural experiences in this country. I came to work but my fundamental motivation, like in most challenges I accept, was to explore and develop myself. I worked for two weeks in the office. Insufficient time to get to know your colleagues, the way they collaborate, let alone to start building a friendship with them. New country, new people. Always a challenge that, with time, one conquers. On March 15, the company heads, anticipating the government, made the decision to cancel the work in the workplace and choose the home office. I couldn't go out anymore. Instead, my apartment has been my home, my office, my refuge, my prison, my calvary, my school and so many other things that these 22 days of isolation have brought me. If I had to sum it up, I would say that this pandemic has changed everything I planned, felt, it blurred the Carla that arrived this February 29th, to start creating another person, guaranteeing one thing only: the constant impermanence that is life. In challenging moments, like the present one, you are either your best friend or your worst nightmare, that is clear to me. So, to overcome my most recurrent visitor, anxiety, I disciplined myself to practice yoga every day, I meditate in the morning and at night, I started a diary and establish schedules. I keep my mind active and as full of joy as possible and, most importantly, I remember that if, in theory, I am okay alone, in practice, I am not. From this, we all come out together, without any distinctions. We are in this boat together. Inside the storm, there are always glimpses of light that we have to take to continue breathing.
