I am making this post to encourage everyone to not panic! Easier said than done, especially for people who are struggling to make ends meet at this time. I understand the stress and hostility that may be taking place right now within us.
Know that the whole world is going through this right now. Do not live in fear. To have a fear mentality will only bring us down. You are not alone. I recommend to keep positive still planning ahead, forging towards your goals, and also by saying uplifting things to yourself. Reassuring internal words work wonders for us. We react to our thoughts and words, almost unconsciously. I do believe that words and thoughts help us manifest our reality. I say a little mantra at times when I feel like I am struggling. I encourage all to say these things in times of uncertainty. Say it and believe that you will be okay. This is my mantra:
“I am here.
I am present.
I will be okay.”
I hope you can say these things and believe them. I am in a holistic health class at SF State, and I have learned so much from my professory, Doctor Peper. I am going to link his website below. One of the first things we learned in our class was how posture affects our thoughts and literally has the ability to raise and lower our testosterone and cortisol levels. We often do exercises in class to wake us up. Whether that be stretching, or even going in the hall to skip. It is crazy how after doing some of these exercises I feel renewed and refreshed. By sitting up straight we can become more confident in ourselves. So I also want to encourage people to get up out of bed! Don’t be slumped on the couch for too long. Take time to stretch, to walk outside, to raise your arms high and to breathe. I will link a couple of videos below that I think are educational and informative watches!
I wish you well in these uncertain times. Keep going strong and if anything, let’s keep the peace within ourselves. Stay strong. Stay hydrated.
