Coming to you live from day 7 of the shop being closed due to the coronavirus, and this has felt like the longest and shortest week of life - also, maybe the most challenging and yet peaceful. I wanted to share a reflection of the state of things and what I’m doing to stay healthy both physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I touch on:

- how this feels like a shift from individual to collective focus

- how to navigate the pressure to do alllll the things right now: meditate, workout, read, start a business. I suggest turning to trusting your own gut to know what you need and when you need it.

- the beauty of both giving and receiving support and looking at life through the lens of “how can I serve others / the collective?” and knowing you can do this best when you first are taking care of yourself.

- Is this all about healing our heart chakra?

- affirming: “I am safe, I am supported. People want to see me succeed. I am part of something larger than myself. I am taken care of. I am enough. I have enough. All is well. I trust the process. I trust the universe. I trust God. I trust myself. I trust I always know what to do.”

MY constants that have moved me through this week:

- Each night checking in on the blue mind book club. Seeing the ocean is cathartic. Hearing about water feels beautiful. facebook.com/wallacejnichols

- Movement - walks, yoga, whatever i feel like vs. having a set routine. THOUGH following a routine if that’s what is right for you.

-D aily meditation & prayer

- Lots of writing - business and otherwise

- Sporadic breathwork

- Checking in with people - receiving and giving support when I can. Creating strong boundaries around this as well.

- Laughing & getting into the feelings of joy. AKA: dolphins in the venice canals. All the really heroic and kind gestures being shared. UPDATE: Apparently the dolphins aren't real. SAD.

- Cold water swims as the ice is now off the lake

- Telling myself that i’m safe and healthy, as often as i need to hear it.

- Daily hypnosis and sound healing frequencies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQ7-6XopUk
