Creating Your New Normal

People keep talking about creating a “new normal” for 2021. Now I realize that they mean a post-pandemic new normal which makes it sound very formidable, as if you can’t do it.

How about looking at it from another perspective.

I don’t know about you but I have created many “new normals” in my life.

Each time I had some sort of major life change I created a new normal like changing schools, moving to a new city, going to college, starting work at the Kennedy Space Center, getting married, getting divorced, getting married again, losing loved ones, leaving the space program, becoming an energy healer and so many more.

So I have had some practice at creating a new normal and you have too.

I am not trying to make light of what 2020 brought to us. It has been life-changing and often heart-breaking and at other times life-affirming.

The world has changed and yet some of us have dealt with those types of changes before too. Think about other world changes like 9-11 or natural disasters or other crises you have gone through. Those created a new world for us too.

It’s time to look at how you dealt with those other times and gain strength from them.

Where do you go from here?

I know that you may be saying, “But Dawn, you always say that normal is highly overrated.” Yes, I often say that; however creating a life that contributes to me and creates more of what I wish to create in the world, that’s something I would like to have. So, if that’s a “normal” then let’s do it.

How do you do that?

You start by choosing.

Take a look at what you would like your life to be. Look at what came from 2020. What you lost and mostly what you gained.

What strengths and benefits were uncovered for you?

Look at what you are grateful for. 

Build on that!

Start adding things you’d like to have into your life.

Start removing things that no longer serve you.

If it feels too daunting, do it in smaller chunks.

Build your “change muscles” slowly if you need to. Allow yourself to get used to it and to be able to sustain it.

Or, if you are the jump-off-the-high-dive type of person, then just jump right in!!

It’s your choice. It’s your life! You can do this!!

Grab hold and go!!

Create yourself a “new normal” that contributes to you and to what you would like to create in the world.
