LIVE- The Action Word!
What is normal? Crazy to think about last Thursday and how much has changed since then. It was normal last week. But somehow, “this” is going to be “normal” now. Change is the new normal. No matter who you are, where you live, what you do, something is changing around you. Whether it is work, school, habits, routine, lifestyle, health; it is all changing. However, our job as the human race is to live through these changes. YES, LIVE- an action word. LIVE as the verb. Keep LIVING your life. Make it the best life possible for you and for any loved ones around you. In my family, it is time to bring us back to what is important; relationships, faith, nature and healthy living. We get to still enjoy a routine. I still get up and shower and get dressed. We make beds, eat breakfast and walk the dog. The girls are doing their work (thank you to all the teachers for making this transition so smooth). The routine is not exactly “perfect” and we are changing the routine every day depending on how it went the day before. But what I knew right away, is that I need to see our barre family every day. I need the workout. Sunday, I worked all day to make it happen. I have an amazing team and we got together to make this week happen for you; to bring you Beyond the Studio LIVE. Yes, I am capitalizing LIVE to play on words. Although in this context, LIVE is an adjective; describing that you get to ZOOM call with your friends and workout together every morning and night (maybe more as we progress), but it is a reminder that it is also a verb- the action “to LIVE”. Live like you were last week or last month. If fitness and seeing your friends was part of your routine, why stop. Keep doing what you were doing as long as it made you happy. Create a “new normal” that works for you. Find the good in all this. This is also a reminder to remove the parts in your life that were preventing you from living your best life. This is a chance; an opportunity to step back and evaluate. Yes, your world seems like it is upside down but first, take care of you. Take care of your health. Make sure you are eating right and exercising the body that you have. Enjoy the people around you. Pick up the phone and call people. Check in. Imagine how you want to live your life and make it happen. Yes, things will change. Change is the new normal. It is you who decides how you will live with this change. Make it work for you. The person you truly are comes out in these times. Let it shine. Let it LIVE.
