With the escalation of fears over the CoronaVirus, we can get lost in the feelings of being overwhelmed and powerless. While focusing on our physical care is important, we also need to focus less on fear and more on love and gratitude. Fear makes it difficult for us to see clearly and to listen with our heart. Love weaves and connects. Love reminds us that we are all in this together and when one of us suffers, we all suffer. Gratitude reminds us to focus on what we have instead of what we are lacking. When we practice being grateful, fear cannot survive.
Today, examine if you are speaking words of fear or speaking words of love and gratitude. We have the power to choose our responses and our actions to this virus. For the next few weeks, redirect your fear to the opportunity to love yourself and others and to be grateful for what you have been given. May we all remember we are intricately connected and how we react will determine the outcome of this virus.
