The New Norm
2020 has showed up and showed the fuck out!
2020
Brought us some life changing events. The whole world is currently doing things that we probably never in our lifetime imagined doing, like- stay at home quarantine orders, wearing masks every day, social distancing that is requiring us to remain 6 feet away from others at all times, unemployment rises, stimulus checks, and definitely the most concerning which is, the unknown.
How are you coping with this fam?
Sudden changes is a proven fact to cause post-traumatic stress, depression, mental health and wellness issues. Fam, I ask you again, how are you coping with this? My advice is real simple:
LET IT GO, AND LET IT FLOW
Meaning, literally let that shit go. Wasting good energy on things we have NO CONTROL over is a waste of time. Switch your thoughts, which switches your energy. Give NOTHING control over your feelings fam. LET IT GO.
If you need help with letting stuff go and switching your energy refer to my last blog called FAM, ELEVATE to ALLEVIATE.
Now what?
ADJUST TO THE NEW NORM
I mean, why not?
I know the life that I love to live and the life that I love to live, is a happy life. OKAY! So ask yourself, during this time of the unknown, what can I do to ensure that I am still happy every day?
The answer should be to adjust and make it fit into your lifestyle.
Still have those birthday parties, anniversaries, graduations but engage in social distancing. If social distancing isn’t your thing yet, GET CREATIVE with it. Event car parades are big right now, zoom parties and so much more is out there for us to utilize right now!
Get out of the funk of change, adapt and make it worth your wild!
You can even create themes. I mean come on Fam, we are still living in an unlimited possibilities world. That has not changed and will never change no matter what we may be experiencing in the world. It is just up to us to SNAP the fuck out of it and think of solutions to the problem. Like a great example is:
Currently we are all ordered to wear mask every day outside and around others. No problem! Buy you some fashionable ones. Different colors. Different Styles. Still show us your fashionable swag.
No job, and stuck at home all day? No problem! What are some things that you have been wanting to do but never had time to do? Guess what? This is the time fam! Get to it. I promise you will feel amazing afterwards. Learn a new trade, language, get active and start a new healthy lifestyle, again the possibilities are endless.
Find your JOY
What made you happy before this crisis? Whatever this answer is, obsessively indulge yourself in all things that made you happy. Know that it is still possible to accomplish today. Sit with yourself, rewrite your story, find out who you are today. We are constantly evolving, and this is something else that will help us elevate higher. That is it. It is up to US to figure things out to live in peace, joy, happiness and confidence. That we not only LOVE OURSELVES BUT LOVE THE LIFE THAT WE LIVE just as much, and once you do, make sure to share your story and help others to rise above during any temporary obstacle.
LOVE Y’ALL.
