Normal wasn't great either...

---

This week I have been spending a lot of time exploring the deep communion with the Spirit. I came across a good topic while doing my research.

This person said something about the current situation we find ourselves in the world.

The pandemic that has affected every living creature on earth. She says we are so anxious for things to go back to normal, who said normal was good?

I pondered on this aspect of normal,how we subject ourselves to seeking normal. We want our normal weight, normal routine, normal way of doing things and so forth.

When you look at your current weight for example, why do you feel like it's not normal? I was looking at photos of myself when I looked thinner or bigger than “normal”. I tried to remember my state of mind then, when I weighed less, I remembered that I was so depressed and unhappy.

I compared that time with how I felt now. But ironically, while I might be feeling abnormal, I feel very comfortable where I am. I'm not feeling depressed or stressed. This shows that when we seek to make things normal, we do not understand that “normal” is not really better than now, we just don't want to be with what is. We don't want to accept current, it makes us uncomfortable, it's almost like we are doing something strange when we accept current situations.

Let us accept that things have changed, normal has become new, we need to be with what is. - Avuyile Mngxitama-Diko #rookielifecoach
