So here we are on Week 4 of my Lockdown classes online and Week 9 of the ‘Lockdown’ since I did my classes ‘live’.
How quickly we have adapted to this way of life, getting into a new routine. It has given not just me, all of us a chance to do what ‘we’ want to do, whether it be our fitness routine or life routine. Complete change, from getting in our cars and travelling to classes to just a walk away to our kitchen/living space and then after class a walk away from the kettle then shower! Let us appreciate this time, every moment even when life gets crazy (and it has over the past 9 weeks!). We will never ever get this chance again!
Life always unfolds support and challenges. There will always be ups and downs, its Yin and Yang, black and white, hot and cold, on and off…..
Letting go of the notion that we have to be happy all the time, to win all the time, that’s not how life works, and trying to keep that going is just a waste of our precious energy.
It also means that if you are going through a tough time that too shall pass, just like everything else, the past, the weather, the traffic, this lockdown, what other people think of you, will zoom work for me today? Let’s just focus on the things that we can control. Don’t go searching for problems or searching for a reason why you can’t change your life. Finding a problem is easy. Anyone can do that! What takes determination is to ‘flip – it’ flip that situation on its head and make it work. This takes courage, curiosity and a determined mind.
So strip off those problem pants and put on your solution specs, search for answers and not problems. Instead of saying ‘This situation will never work for me’. Ask instead how can I make this work for me?
I’ve tried it over the past 4 weeks, yes it took courage to do what I have never done before which is teach online. Yes I have good days and bad days but I try to shrug the bad days off and totally grasp the good days : ).
Seeing you ALL on my screens makes me so proud, proud of myself and proud of everyone who continues with me on my journey.
Thanks everyone. Look out for some freebie classes coming soon. On Zoom and facebook/instagram live.
See you Virtually online folks and lets make the best of what we have x
