What if the "busy" way of life that we once considered normal is actually not optimal for us?
What if it's not the way we really want our lives to be?
What if "normal" was, in many ways, keeping us from choosing PEACE?
What if it was keeping us from becoming the best versions of ourselves, our businesses from going in the direction that they really needed to go?
As things "open back up" and we become more busy I believe it's a really good moment to think about:
๐ฅ Opportunities for change
๐ฅ Personal & societal values
๐ฅ What do I truly want to bring to life, in my life?
๐ฅ What is the value of slowing down?
When you get into the mindset of, โWell, I'm going to wait until we return to normal,โ it keeps you from making decisions out of clarity, when the universe is practically screaming: โHey! It's a time for change!โ
What if the new normal, the slow life, has things for us that are going to be our greatest lessons?
What are the things that you're doing right now that you'd like to continue?
Some of mine:
- I've discovered new ways to teach my children
- I learned to skateboard
- I'm serving my customers more deliberately & effectively (in my "day jobs")
- I've been driving less (< carbon footprint), buying less & saving more
- I'm spending more time outdoors & on the water
- I'm more committed than ever to educating myself & taking action on social justice issues
- I'm even more in love with growing & cooking my own food
- I'm deeply researching the organizations to whom I donate
- I'm taking the time to look at the root causes of my aches & pains (and helping clients do the same!)
- I'm providing consistent, quality online yoga classes for those who appreciate the convenience, accountability, community, PEACE & simplicity of live online yoga (... and YES, my audio is ROCKING!).
All of these things take TIME, time I didn't have before the pandemic forced me to re-evaluate & slow the heck down.
I would love to hear your thoughts! What's your new normal?
