Shift…pivot…reroute…sometimes not<\/em> by our own choosing, we are shifted, pivoted, rerouted…turned upside down!<\/p>\n

I’m an internal processor so it takes me a little time to sort through all<\/em> the things.<\/p>\n

Some of us may be quicker at accepting change even<\/em> when it’s forced\/sudden\/unexpected and that’s alright.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Being introspective and reflective has proven a helpful\/healthy practice if<\/em> it doesn’t keep me in spin cycle…forevAH!<\/p>\n

I AM grateful for solid friends who see me start spinning and help me “press pause”. I’m also<\/em> able to choose<\/em> to press pause on my own (sometimes!).<\/p>\n

Pressing pause has looked a little like this for me:<\/p>\n

Is this something I’ve already assessed\/evaluated?<\/p>\n

Was there a conclusion the last time this was assessed\/evaluated? Was it helpful\/comforting?<\/p>\n

Will there (more than likely) not<\/em> be a “suitable” answer for me regarding this specific piece now?<\/p>\n

Am I willing to accept that this may remain a point of discomfort\/pain\/difficulty for at least some time?<\/p>\n

If it seems I don’t have “answers”, what will help my mind\/heart to choose Peace in\/for this moment?<\/p>\n

Take a deep breath (or three); I’m here…in it -with you -for you- alongside you…always.<\/p>\n

Sending hugs, reassurance, prayers, good vibes…or dap if that’s what you’d like the most.<\/p>\n

Common Day Hero:<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Comfort, warmth, integrity, diligence and kindness are what you continue to embody and have for over two decades now!
