How are you?
How are you really doing?
I’ve noticed for myself and for many of my client’s this transition back into the real world is a bit of a rough time.
Some client’s aren’t ready to return back to the office. Some are planning on continuing to wear their mask when the go out. Others are continuing to avoid eating in doors.
It’s not easy to decide what to do with all the conflicting information on Covid and rapid re-opening of California.
Even when you do go out, the social anxiety might start up, or you might feel like you are rusty with your conversation and small talk skills.
Know that it is OK to feel uncomfortable during this time. Know that it is OK to take it slow. Know that it’s OK to say “I’m not ready to (eat in restaurants, go to the gym, or whatever).
Eventually things will start to feel more normal.
