Sunday June 7, 2020 The world continues it’s battle against Covid19 and a nation attempts to heal itself and reform. The current pandemic and the social unrest over the death of George Floyd bring to mind the importance and value of life. As we think of others during these times and attempt to help the less fortunate or support those being persecuted we ought to consider ourselves too. Have self-compassion and be kind to yourself in a way that is healing and uplifting so that we may be useful to the betterment of the people we interact with. You can do this in several ways:
We can acknowledge the difficulty we may be having. These are troubling times and everyone is processing the events in our own way. It is normal to be wrestling emotionally with the state of affairs regarding racism and politics in our country. If the coronavirus has impacted your world in a personal way or has you feeling anxious then realize that and accept it as a real struggle. Find tools to release the pressure, but allow yourself to feel how you feel. And secondly know that you are not alone in this suffering as a nation mourns for every person unfairly taken from our world by the immoral and racist acts of people in positions of power. We must unite as a people and stand up to racism. This is what the protests are all about and they are our right and allow the people a voice and an opportunity to compel those in charge to change the procedures and protocols for a better system and a better treatment of our black community. Lastly, support yourself in this moment. Seek counsel. Read inspiring and thoughtful words to help you heal and strengthen your mind going forward. Create a positive mindset that promotes you and your vision for yourself. Meditate, dance, chant, pray, journal and do the activities that bring you peace in your mind and your spirit.
We are resourceful and can adapt to any situation and have proven it during this virus outbreak. We can all be better in our actions towards others, in our self-care and in our minds. How we see those around us and how we consider each other will lead to how we act and interact with other people of all races, cultures and religions. As much as we are all unique with a genetic makeup like no other we are also very much the same. Human. Hearts. Feelings. Hopes. Dreams. Longing for love. How will you give and receive love from now on?
