Transitions are usually a hard process to process. With the current situation of our state “opening” back up, this transition seems like it would not be hard to go through. We’ve been waiting on things to go back to “normal”. However, this should be a transition we take very mindfully.

This is similar to exercise. We don’t just have an exercise routine of workouts several times a week and several miles of walking or running a few days a week, take a break for several months and expect our bodies to go right back to that level of exercise on our first day back. We also don’t start all over either. Our bodies adjust to returning to exercise faster than if we had never done it before, it just doesn’t happen immediately. Don’t try to jump right back into the routine. Injuries are very common when your mind is convinced your body is ready. Gradually increase your activity over time so that your body can adjust to what your mind knows it can do.

Have a safe and blessed Memorial Day weekend!
