Strange times . . . new rules,
new behaviors, new priorities.
Not to mention lots of contradictions:
“Stay apart!” we’re told. But, “This is a time when we all need to come together!”
In fact, social distancing is
itself an oxymoron.
Ponder that for awhile.
It’ll make you crazy.
Human beings are also propelled toward extremes: voluntary or involuntary quarantine means too much time alone, which can lead to binge watching the media. Absorbing lots of information, quickly evolving statistics, without the water-cooler (or yoga community) collective to hash it all out. To try to make sense of it. To concur on courses of action, best practices. So we swing from panic and hypervigilance to f*@k it.
Behind all of this looms
the really scary question:
How long?? When do we
get back to “normal?”
If the prospect of being homebound and alone indefinitely strikes fear into your heart, stick around. I’ve come up with some virtual and actual tools to help us all get through this, one person at a time, one day at a time, one breath at a time.
Let’s get started!
Namaste,
Lois
