Good morning!
Grab that coffee and come chat.
How was your yesterday?
Mine was pretty uneventful.
I have noticed that people are having panic attacks, anxiety and just having a hard time coping with this situation.
I truly understand, I have anxiety and panic attacks myself at times. I’ve learned to manage them with meditation and medication.
It’s easy to say, calm down it will all be ok.
It’s harder to apply that to the moment.
Easier said than done.
I try to be that optimistic, motivating friend. Yeah yeah, I know it can get annoying. It’s much more fun to sulk and withdraw sometimes. Go crawl in bed and cry. Speaking from experience, that doesn’t work.
It may feel better for a short while, but it doesn’t change a thing.
You get up, wipe your face and boom, it’s still there and you are still in a panic.
How you respond to this or any issue that may turn your life upside down is the key.
First breathe.
You are alive and well and able to take care of your family emotionally.
That is important.
Being strong together.
Prioritize your needs. Ask for help if something seems impossible. Help others if and when you can.
Breathe.
Practice social distancing. Think how much more exciting it will be to see everyone when this is over. This is a way to protect your loved ones. The perfect time to be selfish with your time and space.
Breathe
Use social media to spread cheer and laughter. Not gloom and doom. Yes, its serious, but we need to be able to laugh and enjoy life. Living in constant panic is not healthy.
And it’s contagious.
Do a Facebook live video with your family.
Challenge your friends to post one too. Have fun! It’s ok, really.
Breathe
Go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Covid-19 is not waiting outside your door to attack. It’s a hitchhiker moving from person to person or stopping off at places like countertops just waiting for a ride.
Your front porch or patio is the perfect place to soak up some rays and inhale some fresh air. Grab that natural vitamin D!
And breathe.
When you wake each morning, grab a cup of your favorite morning beverage, coffee, tea, cocoa, and get comfy.
Do not turn on the news.
Do not scroll social media.
Close your eyes,
Take a sip
Keep your eyes closed.
Listen to the quiet sounds.
Feel the air around round you.
Relax
Feel the comfort and love being sent to you from family and friends.
Send your comfort and prayers out to them.
Know you are not alone.
Inhale in all the wonderful possibilities for the day and exhale all the negativity.
Negative thoughts,
News reports,
Anxiety
Panic.
Blow it out.
Release it from your soul.
Smile
Breathe
I love you ❤
