#12 - “Should We Ever Return to a State of Normalcy?” with Author Michael Moody
Welcome to “The Elements of Being” podcast, where I dissect and explore the minds and habits of psychologists, filmmakers, writers, and industry icons. Essentially, we learn what makes them flip the switch to achieve great feats, goals, and milestones…and a chance to geek out over the psychology behind human behavior.
In this episode, I dissect the idea of a "return to normalcy" as we develop our next social and economic strategies during this crisis as well as the impact of returning to pre-COVID conditions.
Specifically, I discuss:
-The benefits of the old routine and the stimulation of the new
-The separation of routine from normalcy
-The comfort of habit and the discomfort of the physical, social, and global normalcy we experienced before the pandemic
-The return to patterns of debilitating and inflammatory physical health
-The ways we can leave a sustainable impact on our healthcare system, frontline health workers, and personal health
-The needed change in approach with social and environmental policies as well as leadership from both parties
-The possible long term effects of merely returning to a prior state without adaptation
-The opportunity of a "new normal"
