the power of ADAPTATION Health & Fitness Editor Dina Juve
As we progress in life, our needs evolve, but sometimes it’s difficult to enact change. Why? Because change is hard. Period. It can be even harder to adapt or make changes that you have not chosen, especially if those changes have been deemed necessary for the overall well-being of yourself and others. When our changes become requirements, we usually accept them easily, feeling comfortable making some of them, but not all. Or, we completely deny, dismissing or rebelling against them. We are all unique and different, which, I believe, makes our world more dynamic and beautiful, but this can also unite us or divide us. We have to find a common ground to unite. Together, we are stronger, more courageous, and that is important for our survival. Right now, more than ever, we are all searching for answers. At this time in history, things are changing from day to day, even hour to hour. All of it can become extremely confusing and overwhelming. We have had to be flexible, trusting new unknowns. Having faith in the right and qualified people will ensure that we get the correct information and that we keep ourselves, and the ones we love, safe and healthy. As our country deals with compounding health and economic crises, adaptation has become crucial in 2021.
