We are living in unprecedented times. Very few things in my lifetime have felt this overwhelming & uncertain. Every day the numbers mount & there’s never really any clear information about when this will end & what our lives will look like when things are back to “normal.” If there was ever a time to learn how to lean into and embrace uncertainty, it’s now. The reality is, before COVID, we already lived with a lot of uncertainty. Tomorrow has never been promised to any of us, but we woke up like we do every day, went to work like we do every day, and carried on like we do every day. So how can we bring that same attitude to this situation? Things will clearly look different, now & once quarantines are lifted, but what can we do right now to embrace uncertainty? If you live in California you’re familiar with the yearly fires, they can be devastating, but fires are also very cleansing. Many ecosystems need destructive flames to function properly. Forest fires have even been called, “nature’s cleansing act.” So what does this have to do with COVID & uncertainty? What I’ve learned about fires and what I’ve learned from some of the most intensely painful parts of my life is that the most beautiful transformations come from the most destructive experiences. Humans have lived through countless traumatic experiences, but we thrive and survive, hopefully a little smarter, wiser, kinder and more loving than we were previously. Times like this, when looked at through the right lens, have the opportunity to be the most profound learning experiences of our life! When faced with pain, turmoil & uncertainty, you can give up, or you can fight the good fight and make your life better, or someone else’s life better, or the world a better place to live in. This mandatory pause and unwelcome upheaval of our lives is an opportunity to learn, not only about who we are, but from the mistakes and missteps that have brought us here today. How can we lean into uncertainty and make life better once we’ve pushed through the rubble? What have you learned about yourself during this arduous time? What can you do to make your life better, or someone else’s life better? What can we do as a whole to make sure something like this never happens again? Will we take this opportunity to grow & learn & change? Can you turn this time of uncertainty into a time of growth instead? Food for thought… 

Together we will get through this xoxo
