Welcome New Normal!

Each year for the past twenty years, we’ve thought of September as “back to school, back to regular schedules and back to normal.” This year the script has completely flipped, there is no back to, September 2020 is “on to the new normal” and we’re ever thankful for our practice as it teaches us patience, presence and to embrace that while we cannot control the world around us, we can control how we respond to it!

Just as with any change, we can fight the new normal or we can fight to meet the new normal with resilience, resolve and openness. Them’s both fightin’ words but when we fight against what we can’t control we only end up fighting ourselves. This by no means we throw our hands up in the air and give up, and while we believe the universe will take care of us, we don’t just sit back waiting for the universe to show up. It means we throw ourselves fully into and strive to make the most of each moment. Often easier said than done but maybe saying it is the best way to start– perhaps your mantra for today is

“Welcome new normal – while these aren’t easy times I can strive to thrive in them.”

Again – “Welcome new normal – while these aren’t easy times I can strive to thrive in them.”

Again – “Welcome new normal – while these aren’t easy times I can strive to thrive in them.”

And now for the doing– on to the new normal, friends, let’s start this journey together…
