Cities and states are closing back down again.
Covid-19 is not slowing down, it is getting worse.
People are making fun of masks - even our President.
We are mostly all stuck at home.
This morning I woke up and felt like everything happening is like a scene in Groundhog Day:
Cue music from the movie: “I Got You Babe.”
Wake up, breakfast, clean dishes, work, redirect kid’s projects, negotiate with kid, eventually give in to some screen time, Zoom calls, lunch, clean dishes, work, Zoom calls, repeat negotiations with kid, get kid outside, go for run/jog with kid, dinner, clean dishes, do laundry, bedtime routine for kid, work, drink, sleep.
Rinse and repeat.
That was what kept going through my head today. Over and over again.
Deep down knowing that my thoughts were causing me to spin, to continue to let it be Groundhog Day.
Or, I could stop, and listen to my thoughts, my body, my feelings.
What do I want?
Well, when I am thinking from a growth mindset, I think of all the time I have with my husband and kid (even with tantrums and arguments), I do not have a commute. I get to exercise more, and have more time to think (when I allow myself the space to actually be quiet with my thoughts). My honey do list is almost complete after 4 months, I have gone through every closet and drawer in my house and purged. I’ve organized all my online files.
My life is organized.
So now all I have is space. What if the idea of Groundhog Day is actually a metaphor for space? You might think you are doing the same thing over and over, but maybe it is the time to try new things? You are still getting up in the morning and still at home (for many of us), and still wearing masks, but what adventure can you add to it all?
If you are feeling like it is Groundhog Day and want to get unstuck and look at what you can do in your life, sign up for a free call with me where we can look at what is making you stuck. Who is ready for their next adventure?
