We have all seen changes in recent years.

During the early stages of the Covid19 pandemic, I made the joke that it seemed like there was a “new normal” every day.

My sister is a registered nurse and shared early on that their policies and procedures were often changing on a per-shift basis. Rules or protocols that were shared when they got to work sometimes changed by the end of their shift.

Interestingly, our attention seems refocused from debates about continued masking or vaccinations to concerns about countries threatening (and invading) their neighbors.

It’s hard to imagine that we’re almost two months from UGA’s National Championship win and how the biggest stories from that day have so quickly changed.

There’s a saying in Georgia that “if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it’ll change”. It seems as if it’s not just the weather anymore.

My recommendation is a little more patience and a bit more grace (both for yourself and others). We, humans, tend to be risk-averse and resistant to change. Unfortunately, the world in which we today live experiences quicker and more disruptive changes on a consistent basis than ever.

While there have been events that led to change (natural disasters, wars, etc), the pace, scope, and nature of today’s changes are unprecedented.

As an added hint, when you can find a few moments to relax and disconnect, take them. Getting some time to recharge is one of the best gifts that you can give yourself and it helps you be at your best for those around you!
