This is a weird time we are living in. The words “unprecedented,” “uncharted,” “uncertain,” and “PIVOT” are swirling around multiple times a day. I am still grappling with the fact that the world has shifted so completely in just a few weeks. We no longer walk down the street the same way. We don’t just get into an elevator and push a button without care. Grocery shopping is slightly terrifying, never mind if they have the staples you need. Someone likely one suffering from allergies is viewed as a potential threat to your loved ones. We’re embarking on homeschooling. Birthday parties and play dates are held on Zoom. I can look ahead ten years and picture the movie that will be written about this time.
Like I said, it’s weird. It’s easy to get overwhelmed right now, to give in to the anxiety about how everything is shifting, the fear for loved ones, etc. It’s totally okay to have the big feelings and ride the waves of emotion that will inevitably come. But we can make the choice to take some positive action and to rise up out of the muck. We can do some things that will get us on the path to health and happiness, and to strengthen our resilience.
