One very easy thing to do right now is to worry and ask ‘what if’.
What if I lose my business? What if my job, as I know it, is no longer? What if I have to change my life around completely? Now what?
Worrying takes a lot of energy and accomplishes nothing (we all will still spend some time worrying). We could also wait for things to get back to normal. Waiting is also not a good use of time.
As unideal as it is, it’s important to continue doing the work.
Not everything needs to change.
- I’m still teaching my classes but they are pre-recorded.
- I’m still teaching my classes but they are live-streamed.
- I’m still planning classes for each level I teach, but now I’ve taken the time to separate the levels into different notebooks.
What’s next for me? An online monthly membership for people who want to continue tap dancing at home, or learn from the beginning. Stay tuned!
With slogs come new ideas, or time to develop the unrealized ideas and goals buried inside us collecting dust.
We can worry and wait and rant and let the challenge swallow us, or if we’re talking business-speak, we can nimbly pivot. As dancers, we’re slightly more talented and we can “Pivot, step, walk, walk, walk.“
