I haven’t written because I don’t know what to say….
I haven’t written because I don’t understand…
I haven’t written because I don’t know how to say it…
I haven’t written because I don’t want to say the wrong thing…
I haven’t written…
And silence sometimes speaks louder than words.
And silence sometimes is okay…
It gives us time to think, to create, to invent, to comprehend, to pray…
And silence sometimes is not okay…
It gives us time to think, to be in our heads, to find the negativity…
Just because I haven’t published on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing a lot of thinking. Journaling daily has become a habit, ideas are flowing. I really believe that COVID-19 will enter history books. The response that our country is taking to reduce the spread of this virus is new. It is different. Many times new and different are scary words for people. People rarely go out looking for something new and different. Now, we are being forced to accept the new and different. Again, a term people don’t like- forced.
Personally, I don’t mind new approaches to problem solving. I enjoy thinking outside of the box and coming up with a new solution. Asking people to self quarantine is definitely a new approach to the age-old problem of spreading germs and viruses. Is it the best approach? I don’t know. Time will tell as the virus continues to spread or the economy shifts. But we will learn from this approach.We will figure out how to adapt it into different more reasonable ways. We may even save some lives. Who knows.
As for work, yes, my industry was affected. The gym is forced to close. But one skill that the leadership team is great at is pivoting and making adjustments. Never in my life have I seen new systems implemented and products available as I have witnessed in the last 72 hours. In that time we have began an online class program, have gotten up a portal for members to participate in a FREE 30 day challenge equipped with fitness, accountability, and nutrition, recorded endless amounts of video for members to have access to different types of workout at their disposal, and more. It has been a collective effort. And it has been awesome learning this new methods of being able to help people (even though we have had to do it all very quickly). I am thankful for being a part of it, and helping the implementation take hold so quickly.
One thing that I love about what I do is the community. We have the best people involved in our organization. I look forward to seeing their faces come into the studio and chatting. I feel like our members have done some pretty great things to keep our community thriving even though they are not in the studio. I pray that that continues, and we are continuing to be creative to keep it going as long as we have to. Trust us members, we are here for you and will do everything in our power to create value in what we have to offer.
I think I have said enough now…
I think I want to go back to thinking…
I think I want to find new things to say…
I think I want to continue to understand….
I think I will write again, soon!
