In this time of a global pandemic, many of us have felt more than ever the need for community support.

Having the option for close physical proximity taken away has only placed a magnifying glass on just how much we need each other. We have gotten creative in finding ways to serve each other. We have utilized technology to help us stay connected to those we love (I just had a virtual game night with my family the other day, and it was a blast!). Many who are able are sharing their plentiful resources with those in need.

I have seen an ample amount of love and generosity around the world lately, and it absolutely lights up my heart.

I also know that each of us is dealing with this global situation along with unique circumstance per person. Some are stressed, struggling, and panicking. Some are doing okay, but it’s taking everything they have to do so. Some are high vibing, and doing excellent. Along with many other combinations or in betweens.

The point is, there is no right answer as to how you “should” be handling life right now.

However you’re doing right now? I 100% believe that you are doing your very best. Maybe your best will look different tomorrow than it does today. That doesn’t make it “better” or “worse”. But there is no reason that you would ever do less than your best. So thinking things like, “I shouldn’t be struggling so much right now” or “Should I be more worried?” are simply a waste of your beautiful mental energy. Just let yourself feel what you’re feeling, let that energy move through you, and free up your mental space for something that will better serve you…like reading a book, using your creative juices to conjure up a fun way to serve that person who’s been on your mind, being present and available for your family, etc.

And if you’re feeling deflated by the news, or discouraged by what you’re seeing floating around social media, guess what? You get to choose what you see. If you want to continue to fuel stress, anxiety, or fear, you can continue doing what you’re doing that’s already filling you with those emotions.

– OR –

You can be  intentional  with your social media use. You can choose to stop checking the news every five minutes. You can search for  positive Facebook groups to be a part of. You can use  uplifting  search terms on Google. You can unfollow anyone whose posts give you a sense of anxiety. You can  reach out  to someone you know can help you with what you need. You can think of (and act on) ways you can pay it forward and help someone that you know could use the help.

We are experiencing a physical social isolation right now.

And to me, that shows just how powerful our “village” is. We are willing to come together (in purpose) to do all we can to flatten the curve. Introverts, extroverts, shy, outgoing, anywhere on the enneagram, etc. I have seen people of every “type” willing to do what it takes. And that is all I need to help me keep going, and keep showing up for those I love.

And in case you were unsure…that means you.

Yep. I sure love you. No question.

Which is why I want to remind you that if you haven’t taken me up on it yet, be sure to fill out this application to receive your free clarity coaching session with me. And if you even want to take it a step further, fill out this application to apply as a beta tester for my upcoming eight week one-on-one coaching program. It will be going live as soon as I’ve completed this fatty certification program I’ve been working through, which I’m aiming to have done in less than a month.

And one last thing I’d like to direct your attention to: a few days ago, I led a free EFT tapping session on fear, anxiety, and nervousness. You can access it on Facebook or Instagram. If you are experiencing any of those emotions on any level, I know you will find it incredibly valuable (I know this because I have already had several people tell me how helpful it has been for them). I look forward to hearing how it helps you!

So, to sum up:

• We are all experiencing new and strange circumstances

• Everyone is going through an adjustment period

• There is no right or wrong way to experience this

• Let yourself feel your feelings

• Know that you are absolutely doing your best

• Choose to see the good things that are surrounding you

• Know that you are deeply and completely loved
