We are all acutely aware of the global pandemic happening right now. This is probably the first time in recorded history that every human being on the planet is dealing with the same issue at the same time. Even in the face of such uncertainty, fear, and separation, there is a strange comfort in knowing we are all in this together.
We literally have to go back to the basics for now. This is not a time for complication. We may have parts of us feeling fear, anger, anxiety, loneliness, frustration, and more. We may also be feeling curiosity, humor, appreciation, compassion, and empathy.
Our bodies and psyche are responding to shock so to say “self-care is paramount right now” is an understatement. As such, I want to offer up some simple ways to deal with the uncomfortable emotions, and there are a lot of them, that come up during a time of crisis.
These basics apply to everyone: couples, solos, families, RVers, homeowners, young, old, healthy, or compromised. Please apply them according to you and your current life. We can not control what is happening with COVID-19, but we can control how we react and respond to it.
THANKS MARNI!
I appreciate the tips, especially reminder to have personal contacts & emergency stuff in order. I have a few contacts, depending on my location.
This is great – thank you Marni!
Thank you very much for this article. I’m implementing ideas that I hadn’t thought of.
Stay safe. Hope to meet you both someday along the Rv trails and adventures.
