As we're buckling in for the long haul together it's good to think through what will sustain us over the coming months. Have a listen to our friend Phyllis Matthis as she shares some thoughts on how we frame this unexpected season.
Questions for personal reflection or (preferably) discussion with someone else...
- We are all intersecting with this new reality in different ways. What is the frame you are viewing this crisis through? Are there any alternate ways that you could frame what is happening?
- What comes up for you when Phyllis says, "We are right at the beginning of all of this and no one knows how to do it... Give yourself a break. There is no way to be failing at this point."
- Every major change in life requires adjustment which takes time. What have been some of the biggest adjustments for you so far? What can you do to be more patient with yourself as you adjust over the coming weeks?
- We're all washing our hands like crazy, but Phyllis talks about "mental health hygiene" where we give our mental health a high priority in our lives. What are some rhythms you can put in place this week to make your mental health a priority in this season? (
- What helps you stay grounded in the present?
