Throughout life we have lots of wonderful opportunities to choose our 'new normal'.
Many are at times of great celebration:
New friends: partner, new living arrangements, new car, new careers, new business, etc.
If you choose to have children your 'new normal' changes regularly with them; baby needs, toddler needs,
childcare times, school times etc.
Some changes however through life can be thrust upon you unexpectedly:
~ a situation you find quiet confronting and hard to deal with
~ a situation that leaves you feeling devastated, distraught and
quiet off balance
~ a situation that has you feeling out of control; not knowing what to do; or which way to turn.
When this occurs you may find yourself faced with a 'new normal' you were totally not planning; you may find the best choice you can make is to allow yourself time:
~ time
to learn
how to process the situation that
has occurred
~ time
to allow yourself to be in a well place so you make good new choices
~ time on how you can get back on track to
live your
'new normal'.
Sitting in a place of uncertainty can be extremely difficult to sustain
particularly for men:
~ Men tend to like to FIX it!! and FIX the situation NOW!!
Unfortunately this may not be able to occur.
~ Women tend to focus on nurturing family.
~ Children tend to absorb and mimic all emotions that are happening within their environment.
We are currently living within a very fast world. Technology can allow us to be connective to everyone constantly and instantly -
want to know anything 'Google' .... and you can Google on many screen devices
throughout the world
anywhere and at anytime !!!
At todays society FAST PACE Nearly everyone feels they have NO TIME, but would like MORE TIME !!
so how can we sustain being forced to take TIME when we are not used to having TIME
without
spiralling
ourselves into:
frustration, anger,
anxiety, depression, psychotic episodes, post traumatic stress disorder,
self medication abuse, domestic violence abuse, street violence, road rage,
etc ??
