Oh, How I Want to Break Free...
I retired with a sense of optimism, expansion, and new possibilities…excited about managing the transition to a new phase of life. True, I was based in the town where I had lived almost all my life, and so much of what surrounded me was gloomy and redolent with ancient unhappiness. But I had so many plans to fly, with new adventures to pursue.
Then lockdown after lockdown clamped me in, offering me no clear timescale or avenue for escape. Little light. Little sense of personal achievement. Little hope of doing something new, worthwhile, or successful, to replace my abandoned professional identity.
In this storytelling project I try to capture some sense of this situation by using ICM techniques, supported by mindfulness and journaling. Can these new perspectives offer me an unexpected escape route?
