The crazy uncertainty of these times we are in can quickly become overwhelming, State of Emergency, Financial Chaos, Social Distancing, so much of what has been normal has changed, literally overnight. As we struggle with our new normal, we can experience fear and anxiety, of course, that is well just normal. The goal is to not get stuck in OVERWHELM, but to move through it as quickly as possible to a place of well being. Try this exercise.
Ask your self these three questions:
- What do I need to STOP doing, in order to foster my well being during this time? I need to stop…………………………………………………………………………..
2. What do I need to START doing, in order to foster my wellbeing during this time? I need to start…………………………………………………………………………………….
3. What do I need to CONTINUE doing to foster my wellbeing during this time? I need to start…………………………………………………………………………………………
Mine looks like this:
- I need to Stop watching so much news…..
- I need to Start finding joy in each day……
- I need to continue, getting enough sleep, exercising, eating well and taking sun baths
Try and see how much this exercise helps you shift your thinking and feeling away from fear and anxiety to a sense of well being!
Stay safe, well and at home.
