“Even in the grave, all is not lost.” ― Edgar Allan Poe
How are you coping at the moment? What are your main concerns? How are you dealing with it? Even though we’re living in tenuous times, it is important we check in with ourselves regularly.
People cope in different ways, some better in stressful conditions, while others internalise their stress. We ought to deal with what is affecting us, instead of repeating the patterns of the past. Whilst things may appear bleak in the world, it doesn’t mean it will be permanent.
Mankind has faced many challenges throughout history. We should focus on taking small steps to secure our dreams and best future. Life will improve, there are no two ways about it. We have experienced challenges before and will overcome them again.
In times like this, our attitude determines our altitude; how high we soar above our challenges.
It is how we respond in times of crisis that determines whether we stay stuck or look for positive solutions. Our greatest discoveries were made during some of the darkest periods in human history.
Humankind is resilient and can overcome life’s challenges, with the right mindset and attitude. Knowing this, what actions could you take to deal with your worries?
Does it involve giving attention to your mental, emotional and physical well-being? Perhaps it requires less interaction with social media and the news, or reaching out to friends and loved ones more often?
When we take each day as it comes, we are present to the moment, rather than hope for a future that may not arrive as we expect.
I’m getting the sense that our difficulties are teaching us to slow down and reassess our priorities. They are inviting us to place value on the importance of family, friendships, purpose and living in the present moment.
Being grounded in the now helps us anchor ourselves to our present moment experience. It reduces the stress of living in the future, and we become grateful for each moment we’re alive. So, when things look bleak, we ought to live one day at a time and savour what we have.
