Gratitude Project Day 9

Today, I am grateful for the chance to "slow down" ... 

I know COVID is a mix bag right now-- some want to get back to their life as it was prior to COVID and some are mourning the loss of a loved one that COVID has taken from them.....and some want to continue to stay home to be safe until the world is safe again.. I get it..

I know it's a bit stressful in numerous ways in the world right now... but I am grateful for this time because it has allowed me the opportunity to slow down-- I have had time to be more thoughtful about what I want to do in my life.. I have had time to figure out my intentions for life and where I want it to go from work to personal aspects etc.

I have taken a look at my current calendar versus my calendar previously-- it's shown me where I was spending my time and energy which wasn't always fulfilling as much as being chaotic and feeling like I had to do this or that .. when in reality I was just filling in the space.

The result of slowing down has brought me incredible joy and peace with myself and those around me. It has energized me for the things that resonate with me and my family. It has created communication and thought-provoking conversations with my family and close friends. This time of slowing down has created an authentic connection with myself, with my family and close friends during this time of physical distancing.

Have you slowed down and re-looked at life around you?? If not, may be you should too..
