What’s been the benefit of the current pandemic? (You’re likely quite familiar with the downsides!) Many are saying it’s been the unanticipated opportunity for inner growth. Though it may not have been intentional, you likely have had a little, or maybe a LOT, of extra time to confront some of your own edges.

That’s something that doesn’t readily happen when you’re super busy and preoccupied with living life “in the world.” You’re less likely to take on the challenge of clearing out old, worn-out behaviors and patterns when you’re distracted or always on the go.

Maybe some of these scenarios are familiar? (All offered with great compassion, if you have found yourself in these uncomfortable situations.)

• Rather than address your relationship challenges, you used to avoid interacting in a deep, authentic way. But lately you can’t, because it’s been harder to get away, literally.
• You used to be able to ignore any dissatisfaction with your work life, because you were stuck in that feedback loop of showing up every day to collect a paycheck. With this recent slow down, how you really feel about it has resurfaced. You have visions of something more suited to your gifts and needs, but aren’t sure how to make any changes.
• You’ve seen and read about others who practice, and even teach, novel ways to evolve themselves into new ways of being in the world. That seems so fulfilling…but it all sounds overwhelming and scary!
• Maybe you have your own story? That story you tell yourself that keeps you stuck and unsatisfied.

Why not maximize the time you still have now to transform?
