The Fundamentals.

The fundamentals.  The basics.

Change.

It’s in the air. It’s happening on an individual level, it’s happening on a collective level.  And the change feels monumental.

Sometimes when we feel on the precipice of change, we suddenly feel the need to act act act, to create new goals and intentions and new routines and habits.  Because the change is going to be big, so our actions need to be copious and new and big.

Yet, there is an analogy that keeps coming to me.

The Super Bowl is quickly approaching.  This is the most monumental moment for the players, coaches, team owners, anyone really connected to the two teams heading into this championship game.  

So preparation for this game is a big deal.  Now I am not a football expert by any means, but my feel is that right now, the teams are not focused on learning a whole host of new plays or formations.  They are focused on perfecting the fundamentals and keeping themselves healthy, so they are prepared for any curve balls the game may bring their way.

Most football games are won yard by yard, completed pass by completed pass, and while there is always the chance the game will come down to a Hail Mary pass, the Hail Mary is often caught by the guy that stayed the healthiest.

Right now, the world needs you to stay your healthiest.  Staying healthy boils down to the basics.   Enough rest, water, healthy foods, physical activity, pleasure, time in nature, personal space and of course breath!

We don't know what curve balls are coming our way.  
Take care of yourself and you'll knock those curve balls out of the park (I guess all my time around little athletes is rubbing off!) 

And as always, reach out if you need some extra support.  You don't have to do this alone.

Love love love!
