As Colorado announces our return back to “normal” I am filled with mixed emotions and I figured...why not share what's on my mind with you...
If you start our new “normal” having spent the entire month...
RESTING. Know that IT’S OK! There is ZERO expectations on how you should have spent this time and I truly feel that if you spent the time resting in your PJs 24/7 you probably needed it. It was probably the first vacation you took physically and mentally in long enough time where you body needed to restore itself and I hope you come out from this with a new breath of fresh air to yourself and ZERO guilt! hear me again.
ZERO GUILT.
If you spent this time…
GROWING. Girl! Go Get EM’! So proud of you! There is so much power in having the time and space to listen to what you need and move forward. If you spent all of your time recently on finding ways that make you feel like you have been reaching closer to your best self and best life YES!!!! Thats OK! You are allowed to share it. show it. and celebrate it!
If you spent this time...
SURVIVING. Lord, you are not alone. Whether it was because you were homeschooling and working full-time from home or maybe you had an essential position that didn’t allow you to stop. It’s also OK that you have no idea what day it is. How 8 weeks have gone by and wondering how the hell anyone just rested or was able to grow. Your emotions and feelings are valid. Allow yourself to share them and realize that you are not in this alone.
There has been no RIGHT way or WRONG way to spend your time recently. While I am a firm believer in that there are LESSONS to learn in everything I don't believe those lessons need to be the same for everyone. Give yourself grace as we all transition into whatever this new normal looks like and always remember KINDNESS and EMPATHY are free…share them like a waterfall we will ALL need some eventually given back at us.
