For me......

Song: Bluu (Acoustic) 

Artist: yaRN 

I think everyone can agree that the pandemic has caused a shift in the way that we see the world. I know for me it has. It’s caused me to look at my relationships, my friendships, where I spend my time and even more importantly, who I spend my time with. 

I learned during this time that life doesn’t always have to be about doing something… sometimes, you can just be. 

I’ve been practicing that alot lately- just being. Doing things that have nothing to do with working. Things that have nothing to do with making money. Things that are for my pure enjoyment. 

That’s been skating for me….. Swimming for me…. Reading for me…. Being for me… 

What are you doing for you? 

“This is what I have found: To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen ... to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee -- and that's really hard, and I can tell you as a parent, that's excruciatingly difficult -- to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, when we're wondering, "Can I love you this much? Can I believe in this passionately? Can I be this fierce about this?" just to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophizing what might happen, to say, "I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive." And the last, which I think is probably the most important, is to believe that we're enough. Because when we work from a place, I believe, that says, "I'm enough" ... then we stop screaming and start listening, we're kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we're kinder and gentler to ourselves.' - Brene Brown
