Pause. Take a minute to get off the Merry-Go-Round when you need to. When life is a bit much consider what you need to regain your balance. I need to take a moment myself. I have a new blog series I hoped to launch today, and it’s not ready. I was considering how to smush it into my schedule when I realized I had another option. I can pause.  Please excuse me while I go sit on a bench for a minute.  

A new colleague/friend gave me this analogy last month when she said she stepped off her Merry-Go-Round for a day and binge read my past blogs. She has asked me to write about hope, about things going well. So, the next blog series will be about how to use resilience skills to thrive, to build meaning and joy into your life. I am not 100% sure how to structure it yet – daydreaming will give the ideas time to fit together.  

Meanwhile, I hope your year is off to a good start and that you remember to step off your Merry-Go-Round when you need to so that you can maintain your balance.  

Peace,

Laura
