| With the return of AFL football to both Geelong and Melbourne, the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend and school holidays beginning, it feels like there is some more energy returning to our towns and cities after a couple of years with many days in lockdown.
Although
we have to remain vigilant to COVID throughout Winter, we are able to make plans with more assurance than in recent times. With this extra freedom comes the opportunity to reflect on exactly how we want to spend our leisure time without restrictions and with more possibilities of what we can do.
Each of us will have our own speed that we return to a pace of life more similar to pre-pandemic levels, but we can all take the opportunity to reflect on what we have learnt from the last few years. Many people will have gained a clearer sense of the things that make them happy and the activities they want to prioritise going forward. This may include more regular exercise, more catchups with friends and family, more time travelling, or more time reading, painting, or doing another activity that we enjoyed having extra time for in lockdown.
As we look ahead to the possibilities for what we can do for the rest of the year and beyond, it is likely that we will
have a greater appreciation for the activites that we weren't able to do during lockdown. This gives us an opportunity to further prioritise those activitities now that we have a bit more freedom.
