Are You Good?

 Change. It is disruptive, often unexpected. It is chaotic even when organized. Damning when not. It rings of toddler tantrums and comfort zones. It breaks the norms that we have set for ourselves. It strokes our deepest fears.

Change is part of our being, it happens throughout our lives, in minor and major ways. Change is inevitable. How we handle and adjust to it varies depending upon our circumstances, our support systems, our wellbeing.

What is so unique about this moment in time is that we are all adjusting together to the various changes that have been imposed upon us given the current Covid 19 epidemic. When you sit back and think how astounding that idea is it will take you away from your individual concerns to a much deeper prevailing conscious union of experience. There are some who will debate that this does not bring people together but separates them more, but I like to take the optimist outlook and find connection wherever I can.

We are all finding new normals in the way we work, the way we shop for necessities, and the way we connect with family, friends, teachers, students, doctors, neighbors.

I hope the sun is shining where you are, that you can see some flowers in bloom from your window of the world and that you are taking this time to nurture your body and mind with goodness. Take care my friend, eat well, call someone you love, help someone who needs your support and breathe deeply, slowly, consciously. All of these things nourish your immune system in ways you can’t even imagine. Embrace this change as a chance to take care of you. You are the most vital part of this greater community.
