Uncertainty

There is a lot that is uncertain right now.

When will school be open?

What about the economy?

Will my mom get sick?

Will I be able to go back to work sooner rather than later?

When can I hug my bestie boo?

We don’t know.

I know, I know -- this isn’t anything new.

BUT.

This was always true.

Read that again.

Us not knowing was always true.

We never knew.

It is just that the unknowing IS IN OUR FACE.

We are being reminded constantly that we do not know, which by the way the brain hates. Cue fear, scarcity, anxiety, doubt, I could go on.

We never knew if we’d be able to actually hug our bestie tomorrow at lunch or go to work next week or take that vacation next month.

We just thought we did. We just thought it was certain. But it wasn’t.

For whatever reason reminding myself of this gives me so much peace.

It reminds me to exhale and to focus on right now.

It reminds me to ask myself, well what is certain?

Right now is certain.

The big blue sky and my iced coffee.

My baby giggling for no reason.

My messy lived in home.

This inhale. This exhale.

Ask yourself what is certain for your right now. I promise it will help!
