Steps to Gain Greater Control and Happiness During Unexpected Life Changes

ATTENTION: CAL SPORTS IS CLOSED FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS (UNTIL JANUARY 4TH) DUE TO THE GOVERNOR’S RECENT MANDATE!

CAL Sports Academy has had to close their doors until January 4, 2021 due to the Pennsylvania state mandate for gym closures to help reduce spread of the COVID infection. I know that this closure can be difficult for children and adults, but it is important that CAL Sports Academy does our part in helping to reduce the spread of this highly transmissible infection.

During this unprecedented time in history of the COVID pandemic, it can be hard for people to feel that they are in control of many aspects of their life. I’d like to provide you with some tips to assist with these feelings. I realize that you may be feeling helpless or frustrated. Instead, I’d like to ask you to write down and focus on at least 3 of your life goals. Look for ways to gain knowledge and skills to help reach these goals. Identify the aspects that you can and cannot control in your life. Then focus on those components to which you do have control and look for ways to learn, grow, and gain a new mindset towards reaching these goals.
