Shift…pivot…reroute…sometimes not by our own choosing, we are shifted, pivoted, rerouted…turned upside down!
I’m an internal processor so it takes me a little time to sort through all the things.
Some of us may be quicker at accepting change even when it’s forced/sudden/unexpected and that’s alright.
In the shifting, there is so much that can be learned…and unlearned. For us analytical ones, there are far too many angles and “what ifs” along the way.
Being introspective and reflective has proven a helpful/healthy practice if it doesn’t keep me in spin cycle…forevAH!
I AM grateful for solid friends who see me start spinning and help me “press pause”. I’m also able to choose to press pause on my own (sometimes!).
Pressing pause has looked a little like this for me:
Is this something I’ve already assessed/evaluated?
Was there a conclusion the last time this was assessed/evaluated? Was it helpful/comforting?
Will there (more than likely) not be a “suitable” answer for me regarding this specific piece now?
Am I willing to accept that this may remain a point of discomfort/pain/difficulty for at least some time?
If it seems I don’t have “answers”, what will help my mind/heart to choose Peace in/for this moment?
Take a deep breath (or three); I’m here…in it -with you -for you- alongside you…always.
Sending hugs, reassurance, prayers, good vibes…or dap if that’s what you’d like the most.
Common Day Hero: Comfort, warmth, integrity, diligence and kindness are what you continue to embody and have for over two decades now! Glad you’re in my life…and even more so when this shitstorm caught me off-guard. JW, you are so dear to me and today, I dedicate this post to you.
