What do I do with this overwhelm?
Been feeling the sadness, pain, frustration, loss and helplessness. Today especially.
At the macro level for the planet and humanity.
At the micro level for all those most directly affected.
How do I show up when the world is melting down?
With everything going on in the world at the moment, it feels important to look inward at how I'm showing up. My personal objective is to prevent myself from contracting the virus for as long as I can to help flatten the curve while also to become laser focused.
All in focus on the things I can control.
How do I control the things I can't control?
We humans have been hardwired to desire a perception of control since before there was recorded history. Studies show that control is not only essential for our well-being, but that in earlier times it was a biological imperative for our survival as a species.
So it's no wonder we want to control anything and everything.
And yet we can't.
