👋🏿Raise your hand if you’ve ever been on the bench in sports or in life? * * * When the game is cancelled everyone gets benched. And when the game goes on people still get benched. * * * Regardless of why it happens-more often than not it’s not our favorite thing. So what does one do? * * * When we are on the bench it’s the perfect time for reflection, resting, prepping or working. And you have to decide how you’ll spend that time. * * * Schools closing, seasons shutting down, people being sent home from work. Contracts lingering that no one wants to move on. So much uncertainty. * * * And so many people who’ve never sat on the bench before have been forced there. * * * Do what is necessary and what makes sense to find a way to thrive through it. And if you’re doing okay and you’ve got a plan and things under control, consider coaching and helping out the rest of the bench. * * * What is happening now will have an impact on all of us in some way or another and some will be hit harder than others. * * * Pray for the sick, for those mourning their losses, those who are dealing with fear, job loss, and trying to figure out the space we are in. * * * We don’t have to gather together, or be in the starting line up of the game at all-one of the most important things we can certainly do is share our human- right from the bench. * * * #shareyourhuman #shareyourhumanity #fromthebench #benchplayers #ridingthebench #coachfromthebeach #feelyourfeelings #spreadkindness #selftalk #useyourtimeforgood #shareyourhuman #shareyourcompassion #shareyourcalm #benchwarmers #fridayfeelings #getupandthrive https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rh8fzH1GA/?igshid=1afrvweo8aod4
