Hi Friends!
As we have slowly given in to our new found “normal” with loads of free time on our hands and a news cycle that is really heavy on the heart, I appreciate that we are all experiencing this sudden change in different ways. How we choose to confront this may vary….Some of us rush to stay pro-active and relevant - some of us dive into the obscurity of it all - some of us find grounding in daily activities - some of us produce videos, sing songs and put ourselves out there - some of us retreat into the pages of a book. Most of us will do a combination of all of these things and more, as our emotions and needs change day to day. I think all of this is worthwhile and that any way you choose to confront this crisis and the solitude of confinement is to be accepted and respected!
Early on as a part of my own journey, I decided to blog and express myself in this way on my website. For me, this helps me to connect to my own thoughts and feelings as I sort through all of these new realities and I hope that just by sharing it in my small corner of the world, this may help one or two others out there to feel less alone.
As I am now paying attention to my own thoughts and feelings more than ever, a strange kind of clarity is creeping in…and it’s very liberating! So, PAY ATTENTION TO YOURSELF - those thoughts you have always had about goals, but also beyond goals - write them down. If new thoughts emerge that surprise you - write them down. Start taking notes on all those little thoughts that pop in - and maybe, at the end of this struggle, you will have built a personal new road map for your life! It’s worth a try…
Anyway, Happy Sunday! xo Holly
