Who says you HAVE to feel fear right now? (And, BTW, why are you listening to them?) This isn't about the realness COVID as a disease, or that many people are losing their jobs, have lost their businesses, or that we’re in the middle of the greatest economic recession of all time, or the new hardships we’re all facing to varying degrees with #quarantinelife. This is about QUESTIONING what you're being told to FEEL in the midst of hardship. Who says you're "SUPPOSED" to feel panic? Who says you "SHOULD" feel fear? YOU FEEL WHAT YOU FREAKING FEEL. Why can’t you feel joy, love, and a deeper connection to your family right now? Who says you can’t be excited about the transformation going on both in your life and in the lives of everyone around the world? Why can’t you feel gratitude for this time of hibernation from the busy and allow yourself to create?? Who says you can't feel excited for this time of innovation and pivoting in your business? Why can’t you feel grateful for this time of worldwide service to the health of others? And, yes, I get certain life circumstances don’t always make it easy to reach for joy and faith and courage.
How to Be the Quarantine Queen-B of Productivity
“I don’t know how you do it with a kid.” Eight months ago one of my clients, a dedicated corporate career woman who thrived off of routine, structure, and spreadsheets, asked me this. She had spent the past decade in the same routine within the ”safety” of a job. She’d known me through two businesses - first as a Pilates client, then as a leadership coaching client. Fast forward to now, everyone is working from home, if they’re able to, and every kid is staying home and every parent has also become the teacher. No babysitters. No school. No playdates. No nannies (unless you have the fancy luxury of a live-in nanny...and if so, rock on, Queen!!) So how do you literally DO IT ALL? I‘ve built my business with my baby by my side, sometimes even on my chest, working from home with my husband. With three years of training, this shizzle is simple and effortless for me.
