TLDR: Hope. We maintain hope in the heaviest of times. And even just a sliver of hope for a more loving world is enough to keep us going. It's enough to continue our devotional self-care practices. It's enough to make us want to be the change we want to see in the world. 

Mark, if your emotions have ranged from outrage to sorrow... from despair to hope... over the span of the last couple of weeks, you're not alone.

Never before has there been 8 billion people on the planet, most with access to world events occurring in real time (both joyful and traumatizing) at the touch of a button.

No longer are we impacted only by local events such as what our family, friends or community is experiencing. We are carrying the heavy load of instantaneous knowledge of everything from that which we cannot fathom to that which gives us hope.

Complicating everything further is trying to make sense of information overload, processing through so many different perspectives in the quest for Truth.

This can lead to us reacting from our emotions (which are NOT our True selves) and making decisions with our minds instead of tapping into the infinite knowledge of our hearts and humanity.

It's okay to not be okay right now. But we need you. The world needs you. Your body needs you!

Here's what we're still doing in spite of what can feel like the world crumbling around us...

We're still expressing gratitude for this life from the moment we awake into consciousness. We intentionally look for aspects to appreciate upon rising. 

We're still taking deep breaths and grounding back into our bodies.

We're still hydrating and nourishing ourselves with quality food because we know that mental health and emotional regulation starts with a foundation of stabilized blood sugar and regular meal times. 

We're still taking ourselves out for fresh air, sunlight, and multiple walks a day. 

We're still lifting heavy things, mobilizing, holding space for our clients, and showing up for our families. 

We do this when we feel happy.

We do this when we feel sad.

We do this when we feel energized. 

We do this when we feel mad.

We do this when we feel pain.

We do this when we feel tired.

We do this when we feel broken.

We do this when we feel wired. 

We do this regardless of how we feel.

We fall in love with each process because we know the benefits are worth our time if we want to be in service to ourselves and others.

Why? 

Because we are of no use to anyone when we stop taking care of ourselves. 

You cannot be the change you want to see in the world when you’re operating from survival mode and stuck in your pain body.

You need energy, stamina, a supportive network, resiliency, nourishment, and radical compassion for yourself and others to get through these trying times.

Hiding in a bottle of alcohol or numbing with other substances and skipping your self care does not help anyone.

Take some time to feel whatever emotions you need to feel in your safe space.

And then start to go within. Turn off your mind and get into your body.

Take good, deep care of yourself. Your body still needs to move, eat well, and breathe.

When your cup is full, you are unstoppable.

To do anything effective... to serve others...

We know that we need to be physically fit, mentally stable, and emotionally regulated.

Yes, feel the emotions. Get it OUT.

And then GET TO WORK. Control what you CAN.

Which always starts with YOU.

It is your Divine right to show up in this world as the best version of you. We all suffer when just one of us is operating from a place of chaos or survival mode. If you need support during this time (or any time), please book an application call. We'll see you on the inside 💚
