We become what we think.īecome mindful of how much time you are spending on social media and looking at the news. Focusing too much on the future will never allow you to find peace in the present. Bring yourself back to the present moment, ground yourself into a place of trust.Įverything will work out just as it is supposed to. Allow space for them but do not allow them to take over. Look within.įeelings of fear and helplessness about the future are very real for some people right now. Every experience is a doorway to heal something inside of ourselves. Growth is connecting with the truest version of yourself, all parts of you. These are presenting as they need your attention, try not to detach from them or suppress them. Triggers of past experiences may occur, see what you can connect into.Ĭertain feelings may be amplified by the current situation. Then look a little deeper and see what can you learn from it.

Trust the process.īegin to consciously connect with your feelings, emotions, thought patterns and behaviours. There is learning and healing in every situation if we are open to it. It means creating space for new things, things we may not have even considered if we weren’t forced out of our habitual comfort zone. It means opening your mind to new ways of viewing everything.

This can be viewed from two different perspectives. There is no taking away from the fact that this global pandemic is scary.
