between COVID, the social reckoning for racial equality, and shift in the workforce - we've been hit hard. unaware of what this moment was pulling from me, i felt guilt because i couldn't show up, didn't have the energy to be productive.
no bubble bath or nap helped me feel better...
this is happening on the outermost layer of our reality while the immediate & intimate layers are still moving, still shifting, still being disrupted. a long-time coachee reached out and told me she, too, was battling this guilt. she too was trying all the self-care and it wasn't working. she, too, felt like she should be doing more.
those "should's" brought us to a discovery...
this moment is a new moment.
the old ways to heal and replenish ourselves may not be working.
we may feel the ending and the discomfort of so much shifting.
& homie, that's okay.
this time is a call to evolve and rediscover.
new context, new setting, new internal state means we need to allow space for re-discovering the things that will help us replenish and be our best selves. for me, i had to stop thinking that i could care or rest myself back into productivity on my own. my new version of a bubble bath was video chatting my auntie while she was drinking some wine. my new version of a nap was sitting outside with my pup.
