Reflecting On What's Important

In life we have ups and downs — and a few sideways and all arounds. The only constant is change.⁠⠀

We’re in the midst of a huge change right now and that can feel scary… so many unknowns and uncertainties.⁠ But what if this wasn’t just a global crisis — what if it’s also an opportunity?⁠⠀⠀

To recognize how intimately intertwined we all are as humans.⁠ To grow, to transform and to shift.⁠⠀⠀

Maybe It’s less about isolation, rations and sanitizing (please still do all these things to protect yourself and others, of course!) Maybe this time is more about taking advantage of the pause.⁠ Maybe it’s a time to stop and reflect on what’s important, what’s vital, and what and who we care about.⁠⠀⠀

Maybe it’s a time to reevaluate the relationships we have — with ourselves, with others and with the world around us — and to decide what we truly want to prioritize.⁠ To hone in on what truly brings us joy so we can move toward it as much as possible.⁠⠀

Ask yourself: “What can I create during this pause?”⁠⁠⠀

Deeper connection with your family and loved ones?⁠ Deeper connection with yourself?⁠ More compassion for strangers?⁠ Or maybe it’s time to finally start on the creative project you’ve been thinking of for years?⁠⠀

Whatever your situation, it’s undoubtedly a time of deep transformation.⁠⁠⠀

Wherever this message finds you, stay safe — and be kind to yourself by not entertaining too much fear.⁠⠀
