Pivot points

Pivot points. 

Those times where you change direction, because things don't always go the way you planned. Like making a birthing plan - it's good to have one, but you have to be prepared to let it go if things don't go in the direction you thought they would. I wanted a natural birth and ended up having a caesarean to save the baby. That's life. 

We need to be flexible in our plans because life - and other people - sometimes throw obstacles or unexpected circumstances in the way. Flexibility is a friend of resilience, helping us to cope with the vagaries of life. So be prepared to pivot.
