How do YOU want to come out of this?

Good morning and happy Monday beautiful humans -  Lately, we have all been talking a great deal about the here and NOW because frankly, it is very important to do. We are physically in the here and now so it is important to address how and what we do to change and adapt during this very different period of our lives. BUT what most of us are forgetting is that there is a future. WE will not be in a shelter in place for the remainder of our days, we must not forget that. SO, the topic of conversation today is going to be focused on the future. And I am going to start off this blog with a simple question to get your wheels spinning while we dive in.  How do YOU want to come OUT of this quarantine?  Yeah, I said it. We WILL come out of this shelter in place and things WILL start to "normalize" at some point. So friends, how is it that YOU want to look and feel after you get out of this anxiety-ridden uncertain phase of your life? We have all said it, aw what's the point! "We are all locked up in our houses and I am worried about finances and the state of the world so I might as well give up on myself??" Wait a minute... doesn't that seem a little like aggressive? Doesn't that feel a little backward and twisted? Even a little bit of self-inflicted harm? Sure sounds like it to me.  Even though our current goals may have shifted (which is TOTALLY a part of life anyway) we most of us should all be well aware, that eating a balanced diet, getting enough quality sleep, moving our bodies, hydrating often and taking care of our mental and physical wellbeing are what make us FEEL good! No matter what the circumstance!  So again, I ask you. How is it that YOU want to come out of this singular event and time in our lives? Remember friends, the hole you dig yourself into is the same hole you eventually need to climb your way back out of... think about it.  Why dig yourself into a hole that is going to drive your anxiety through the roof and make you feel less than your well deserved, best self. When you can spend and have a little extra time to build and grow both mentally and physically. Being present in the moment is very important friends but I do NOT want any of you to lose sight of the future. WE still have one! It may look different, we don't know and cannot control that. BUT we can control how we come out of this!  I want all of you to come out of this feeling like you are ready to ATTACK the world with passion and fire when the time comes! And you guys and gals know it, you can only do that when your cup is full and you have the "flames to throw", so to speak. :)  There it is ya'll. Stay determined, stay focused, stay humble, stay balanced, love yourself, ALL of yourself and remember, when in doubt. Always come back to your WHY. It will steer you in the right direction, every time. <3  All my love,  Coach B
