Life & Death

Too afraid of itself to be seen, some pain will hide in the shadows of your heart; only to be revealed, and thus understood, when the open, gaping wound matures into a scar

Seen - Gohj-ji & Simple Machines

Covid-19 poses a threat which is impacting all of us. It is a threat that is invisible, silently lurking in the air, being passed from person to person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This sense of threat activates our fear response, and rightly so since there is danger. When we are overwhelmed with fear, it can diminish our sense of wellbeing. Fear can create worry, stress, anxiety, and can manifest as this overall sense of “non-okayness” within ourselves. Fear disrupts our sense of safety.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uncertainty also permeates throughout this situation for we do not know what will happen, and this lack of Not Knowing can frighten our hearts.  Uncertainty forces us acknowledge that there are things in this world which are beyond our control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are feeling fear, stress, anxiety, worry, or just in general not okay, then let it be a practice to remind yourself on a daily basis that It Is Okay To Not Be Okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s okay to feel sad, scared and uncertain. It’s okay to feel like things are falling apart. Own it and let it be what it is, a part of you. When we get in our own way by not allowing ourselves to feel what is within, it only hurts us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Human beings have the ability to experience both pleasant and unpleasant things. This is the way it goes. For some reason, the first is easy to accept, embody, and share, while the latter can often be met with resistance. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Treat yourself as you would treat someone you care for who is in need, with Love. Treat yourself as you would treat a crying child, with Patience. Treat yourself as a doctor would treat a patient, with Empathy and Understanding. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Allow yourself to feel, and if those feelings are unpleasant, then remind yourself that it is okay to feel unpleasant things. When we tell ourselves it is not okay to feel unpleasant things, we can convince ourselves that we are wrong to feel the way that we feel.

It’s okay to not be okay.

Its Okay To Not Be Okay

In 100 years from reading this, the vast majority of human beings alive today will be dead and walking the earth will be an entirely new collection of human beings. Together we experience / together we part. Initially scary, infinitely beautiful
