Learning in chaos

So I am really excited that I was able to be part of a cool project some interdisciplinary colleagues are putting together- https://themindbodysummit.web.virtualsummits.com/ It is going to be available as an online virtual summit on June 10 2021. That is in less than 2 weeks!!! This has project has been in the works for months I know that some many people have poured love and passion, knowledge and care into creating this opportunity. I really hope that my friends, family, colleagues, clients, and any people reading this can jump on HERE and register to check it out. Because it’s going to be awesome! And it’s free. And I really wanted to share more about this in the past few weeks. But the chaos of life right now (that I’m sure each of you are aware of in your own personal flavour.)

I am also here to admit that I am so lost in the Instagram and social media marketing world. And my goal this year was really to learn how to use these tools. I WANT to learn how to do these things. And this year has been chaos. I realized as I tried to share an already prepared instagram post how hard it is to learn new things or do new to us things when there is so much happening in the world. (Hence, why I haven’t been sharing the heck out of this amazing collaboration before now.)

At many other points in my life, I would have be so angry at myself. But I’ve been working on the self-compassion thing. And in this moment I had an A-ha moment. Like THIS IS HARD because chaos/uncertainty/doing-the-so-many-little-things-all-of-the-time THING. How can we keep asking our kids to show up and learn every single day so much. Using new brain pathways during uncertainty. New things in the midst of chaos… everyday… and grading them! It’s like an instapot of pressure on these little people! I am a grown woman, doing something not particularly complicated, but it is new- and this is HARD right now. Maybe not always or forever. But right now it is. And that’s okay.

So I am sharing this with you. I hope that you will check it out. Not to add to your busy chaotic list of “shoulds” but to give something to you that I hope and think will help you to tend to yourself in the midst of chaos. And remember that even “simple” things can be hard right now.
