RIGHT, SO HOW LONG WILL THIS KEEP GOING?

 
We don't get to know how long things will take
-Choose to be responsive, not reactive
-Choose to be accepting, not anxious
-Choose to be growing, not grumbling
-Choose to be without all the answers, not speculating
 

2020, what a year! 
-Keep a journal of the good things
-Keep a historical record of what we're walking through
-Keep a mindset of openness and flexibility
-Keep focused on what matters
-Keep your routine simple and habits high-level 
-Keep asking yourself what this now makes possible
 

It's okay that everyone reacts differently
-This is hard for everyone
-Everyone hard is hard
-You can do hard things
-Not everyone needs to agree with you
-It's okay to be different
 

THERE'S POWER IN A PIVOT


What does this now make possible? 



Go on, make a list for what you can now see are possible that weren't before now. (Maybe this is relation to 2020 itself, or maybe a broken relationship, a personal loss, a disappointing outcome, etc.)
