Trying to hold everything together over the last 4 months has been difficult.
We have been placed into an alternative reality that is hard to wrap your head around.
For the first several weeks I walked around asking what is happening? How did we get to a place where everyone was suddenly a threat, and grocery shopping was dangerous.
We thought the economy was going to fall, and while some of us stayed home worrying about our jobs, others were ran off their feet trying to keep up with the demand, looking after kids, and worrying about the well being of, well almost everyone.
Last week I stopped for a minute.
And I was able to just be.
For the first time in months I felt relaxed. I barely recognized it and it didn’t last long, but it sure felt good.
I noticed in that moment that it was ok to just let everything do its thing and only pay attention to what was directly in front of me.
I plan on doing it again today because it feels good.
Just for today let’s just immerse ourselves into whatever is in front of us. Let’s not stew over social distancing and masks and economics while we are on task. Surely we have the hang of all of that already.
Let’s just be in the moment doing the best job we can with full focus.
No multi tasking.
No multi worrying.
No multi planning.
Just one thing at a time that gets our full, undivided attention.
The rest will still be there tomorrow.
