Have you heard of 10Q ? It’s an amazing + enlightening, personal questionnaire to review each year. I get my 10 questions sent to me on Day 1 Rosh Hashanah. Your past answers are saved in a vault as well to review for the following year.
One question really inspired me this holiday season and into October.
‘What’s your six-word memoir on Life during Corona?’
I accept what I cannot control
Take a deep breath + let that sink it. That’s my only (new) intention of October. I already feel calmer just saying it out loud. We have lost control… on most everything. Let’s turn our negative into a positive… what can we control?
Our health, our safety, our holidays, our self care, our morning motivation, our home life.
Health? Wear a mask.
Safety? Don’t hang out in crowds.
Holidays? Make plans for small outside gatherings.
Self Care? Load up on masks, wine, podcasts, and lotion.
Morning Motivation? Set your alarm and create your favorite hot drink. Order a fun morning bite once a week (support local businesses).
Home life? The hardest one. You know I focus on meal prep. But plan ahead. Make dinner dates with your spouse. Ask your kids to pick out a dish to make. Have quiet movie nights with zero phones! Walk the neighborhood. Ask your kids or partner how they are feeling in this moment.
