When the winds of change blow, some build walls, others build windmills.

Covid 19 forced change upon me. I knew it was coming but I continued down the road avoiding change and convincing myself that everything was OK. It in evidently caught up on me.

I closed my shala in March and began teaching online. At first I was’t sure how it would go but over time I found my groove. It did take me some time to see change as an opportunity rather than a failure.

Transitions or changes in life allow you to see where your priorities are. How do you really want to spend your time here on earth? What’s really important to you? Where are you wasting time and energy? Lock down gave me time to figure out and sort with a clear sense my goals and values, once the panic of world annihilation had passed.

Above all I think prioritizing your health through life’s transitions means maybe getting outside in the garden, taking a walk or maybe 10 minutes of yoga. A little and often helps me through my day. We’re all trying to do the best with what we have.
