As we hear on TV daily, these are strange times we live in.
Because we haven’t seen times like this in our lifetime, we need new skills to navigate through.
In addition to wearing a mask, keeping a social distance from others, staying home, we also need self-care. Try a walk on the beach, a bit of yoga, some poetry, a bike ride.
Walk Slowly
It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfection. The harsh voice of judgement drops to a whisper and I remember again that life isn’t a relay race; that we will all cross the finish line; that waking up to life is what we were born for.
As many times as I forget, catch myself charging forward without even knowing where I’m going, that many times I can make the choice to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk slowly into the mystery.
