In
the rush to return to normal, use this time to consider which parts of normal
are worth rushing back to. – Dave Hollis
About
the same time the lock-down order was announced in Virginia, the author read
the above quote and did not really think much about it. Always looking for good quotes for Terri’s
Tuesday Tip of the Week, she figured she could use it somehow in a blog post
later, but she let the quote simmer in her thoughts for the last couple of
months. Now that the country is starting
to reopen, the author has been contemplating this quote more and more.
Through
this season, the author has lived intentionally in some areas and not in
others. As the author wrote last week,
she has been unmotivated to read knowing that a big part of the problem is the 10-hour
days she has been working causing the desire to read to not be there. Contemplating what she wants her life to be
like when she starts commuting back to the office and is able to socialize with
friends, she pondered the above quote.
The
stay-at-home order has been difficult on many of us. For the author, being alone in an apartment
staring at four walls reminded her of the 25 months she was unemployed where
she stayed at home most days and would go to the grocery store to just get out
of her apartment. Additionally, not
seeing an end to this situation has been difficult for her. However, this past Saturday, there was a
change in the author that she will write about next week.
Sometimes
in order for change to be made in a positive fashion, we must force ourselves
to look unblinkingly at painful realities and reevaluate. - Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman
Many
of the podcasts the author listens to have asked people what they plan on
taking from this time and continuing as we return back to commuting to the
office, socializing, sports, etc. Over
the next week, create a list of the things the reader has learned from this
time? What changes do you plan to incorporating
into the next season of life?
ACTION: Create a list of
the things you are going to continue in life that you started during the
stay-at-home order.
