Lessons from Lockdown/s

Apparently, life is stuck in a loop.

It’s a real life version of the movie, ground hog day.

But how will we recognise there is a hidden lesson in everything that happens in life?

By pressing the repeat button.

So if you’re in a place where lockdown is on repeat.

Use this time to experiment life in a totally new way.

Don’t do things the way you’ve always done.

Don’t do things the way you did last lockdown either.

Your state of being is really all you have control over.

It’s time to get connected with your state of being and get present to how you have absolute control over it.

There is nothing to fix and change about the situation or circumstance. There is nothing you need to do.

Your focus is on how to BE. Who are you being? Each moment that passes, get present. Who am I?

I’m calm and steady?

I’m stressed out and filled with anxiety?

Which is it?

Now just close your eyes and listen to just these words again: There is nothing wrong here. There is nothing wrong here. There is nothing wrong here.

Now imagine living your life from this context. Try it on for now. Then imagine every single day operating from this context.

It’s such a small distinction that makes a massive contribution to your life. You will find yourself dancing with the chaos.

And when things don’t go right or don’t go the way you expected, it won’t matter. It doesn’t matter.

You don’t need convincing or cajoling.

You will BE that there is nothing wrong here.

You’ll think differently.

Your cognitive functioning will be free to roam, be creative, be innovative, be inspired to come up with new ideas and solutions you’ve never considered before.

All because you said there is nothing wrong here.

The world needs more of this. More people demonstrating a state of being the multiplies a sense of calm and steady.

Because there is enough chaos in the world.
