On this episode of the Power of Play, Kelly and Amanda discuss the alarmist narrative, which leaves us in a swirl of confusion, judgment, and frustration. Staying in a strong resistance to fear can cause many to be left in as much upset as those responding directly to the threat of the virus. They discuss how negativity is negativity, suffering is suffering and fear is fear.
So this morning, after facing the facts of what is true today, Kelly and Amanda share their secret weapon: surrender. They discuss things we can do while home for an extended period of time and ways that we can make the best out of a difficult situation.
Here are a few of their suggestions:
- Nurture your family
- Embrace the forced, guilt-free emptiness on the calendar to more carefully pay attention to yourself
- Use the time that would have been spent thrashing around at a million kids' events this weekend to get your house in order
- Reassess diets and ensure your food is safe, nourishing, and healing
- Hunker down and use this season of Social Distancing as an opportunity for Familial Connecting
- Circle the wagons with trusted friends and share resources and ideas
- Use the solitude to more deeply explore meditation and holistic healing
- View all the cancelations and closings as a gesture of communal protection rather than reacting to them as scare tactics and mania
- Get out of the resistance to all of it and into ease, flow and continued healing
- Next to washing your hands, this feels like the best way to inoculate yourself from the virus and the mania
Stay safe everyone and share what you are doing to nurture yourself, your mind, your family, your spirit and your business.
