- Disappointment — Plans that have been canceled. Hopes that are in limbo. Routines that aren’t happening.
- Uncertainty — We don’t do well with uncertainty so we’re trying to consume info to determine risk. Yet, there are so many unknowns in the current situation that it’s hard to determine risk which then ironically increases our uncertainty.
- Bonding — We miss boding with other people in-person. Everyone, even introverts, needs a certain about of human-to-human contact. To help with this absence try to make more eye contact with anyone you’re living with, or when you do errands. Also, if you are with people that you can hug, hugging for 22 seconds also increases your Oxycontin–one of those feel-good chemicals.
We have a new SOHP Subscriber Resource page with lots of the goodies for you to download.
While I know some of you are doing well–thanks for sharing your stories with me–I also know many people are feeling some challenging feelings.
Therefore, I decided to postpone the launch of the Raise Your Vibe Challenge–it will be coming soon, but right now, for the next few days or weeks I feel we needed something a little more soulfully focused.
I’m hosting an 8 pm CDT (most evenings) Restore, Pray & Love FB Live.
If you’re not on FB, no worries, just sign up here and we’ll send you the daily videos.
This is Nurses Week — if you know one thank them for helping keep us healthy.
