Get Ready for Change
The winds of change are in the air and have been there for quite some time. The beginning of this year has proven to be an exciting time in our lives, but it has also shown all the stress fractures we as a society have. And with this pandemic, we are able to see the stress fractures we have in our own personal lives. Some may be small, some may be large, but the fractures are there.
So how do we repair? How do we even begin to heal? It takes us as individuals to make changes, from small to large, in order to heal. This is a personal mission that you have. Let me give you an example: I am an introvert and I have spent a lot of time in my head. I like having my alone time to be able to whine down and kind of process what has happened during the day. I’ll listen to my relaxation music and reflect on my day. After reflecting on my day, I start manifesting what I want my day to be like the next day. Now, my husband is the exact opposite. So one day, he came to me and asked me why was I so secretive. And I literally accused him of accusing me of doing something wrong. Long story short, because of the fact that I live most of my time in my head, I was not realizing that I had shut out my husband in certain aspects of my life.
I had to train myself to consciously tell my husband what’s going on in my head. So I started telling him everything. Even the silly things. That was something I discovered about myself prior to the pandemic and the protest. I decided to make sure that any thing about me that could inadvertently affect another negatively needed to change. You may not be the type of person that would affect anyone negatively, but if there was something about you that needed to change, what would it be?
Any positive change, both big and small, can make a difference. You may have already achieved your definition of perfection already. If you have, congratulations! Share some of that wisdom with others who ask for your secret. Volunteer or mentor when we are able to safely do so. Continue to live and be true to yourself. But for those like me who have found fractures; change is coming, will you be ready?
