Episode 28: When Discomfort Calls us to Adjustment

How do you know when it's time to adjust? How do you recognize when your regular approach isn’t going to keep serving you well?  

In many ways, we’re going through a period of life where adjustment is the name of the game. Whether you work in the academic sector or not, September is often a month of transition and refocus. In 2020, many folks are experiencing a unique set of challenges as they navigate work, school, and ongoing life as we wrap up this summer of perpetual social distancing.

So what does this need for adjustment look like?  How is showing up in your world today?  In this episode, we give some insight into what it looks like for us.  We note how, over the past few weeks, our schedules have changed significantly as a new academic year has begun. We both have long experienced that the first stages of a new routine can be a challenge as there is a period of adjustment that is inevitable. But this year there’s a new level of intensity:  eye strain, stiff muscles, mental fatigue... all being known, all at once!  In this episode, we talk through the adjustments that we eventually recognized the need for, how we got to where we needed to make those changes, and what it looked like to respond to the demands of our bodies.  

We invite you to reflect for yourself: what kinds of adjustments have you made recently?  Where are you seeing discomfort that’s calling you to be more flexible in your approaches?  We’d love to know what works for you as we continue to find out what works best for us!
