Dear First name / Friend,
I hope this email finds you well. Just a reminder about change - it's hard! Yes, the vaccination is exciting, yet the world is changing rapidly. This means added stress as we navigate yet another new normal. Over the past year we have decreased social interactions and experienced a much slower schedule. And now the world is opening. Be gentle with yourself and others, we are all emerging from a storm with different scars that will impact re-integration.
Reminder: Your energy follows your awareness. What you pay attention to, matters.
As Socrates urges us, focus on building the new. This pivotal time is a gift. Pay attention to how you want to spend your time. Practice boundaries, self-care, and be gentle with yourself. Some of you may be jumping for joy and planning gatherings while others want to hide under the covers as the increase in stimulation takes its toll. Or maybe somewhere in between depending on the day! Bring compassion to whatever is arising, and trust you will get through this anew.
Practice: I recommend taking time to reflect on what you have experienced and learned. For 15 minutes put a pen to paper. Ask yourself, “What does re-integration looks like for me?” Then go forth and be intentional about how you “open your life up”. Sending you love wherever you are.
