Groundhog Day! Again!
I heard a lovely phrase today, ‘I’m not stuck indoors, I’m safe indoors’. Thought it was a nice way of reframing what’s happening at the moment. You know all of this will pass eventually and when it does we’ll struggle to remember what this time felt like. Our minds do an excellent job of adjusting, and we will, quicker than we expect.
If you can, avoid rushing through this period. It’s (hopefully) a once in a lifetime experience. We can’t change things, so better to practice acceptance, practice letting go, practice being at peace. Staying indoors is our activism. Let your invisibility speak of your compassion for others; compassion for front line works, compassion for the vulnerable, compassion for friends and family.
