How to cope when things keep changing?...

Many of us had already made pre-decisions that determined how we spend the majority of every day — what time we wake up, what we wear to work, what time we go to work, where we eat lunch, etc.. Now suddenly, all those pre-decisions have had to be made anew.... In 10 years how will I want to remember telling the story of how I responded to this crisis? 

— Nick Tasler (Organizational psychologist and author of Ricochet: What to do When Change Happens to You. Tasler talks about “temporal distancing,” a technique that can allow us to transcend the here-and-now and visualize the future). 

I’m working on a “mind-set shift” myself right now. I usually take one or two trips each winter, to escape the west coast dark/damp winter blues, but plans have clearly changed. So I’m thinking to next year (fingers crossed!) and what I can do with a doubled down, juicy budget. Something even more luxurious and exotic perhaps? Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO 

Blessings,
