As we shelter-in-place, we are all learning ways to adapting to a new lifestyle – mostly, being confined at home. So this is how prisoners feel or patients in long-term care.
Also, I have to point out just how small our world can be, and also how big!
I decided to answer three questions a day, and hope to inspire others to do the same. Sort of like online emotional therapy or solidarity if you will. So here we go:
If you were unapologetically and truly yourself, day in and day out, and if you fully accepted and loved yourself, what would change for you moving forward?
- The ability to live a little selfishly without guilt
What would you tell your five-year-old self now?
- Follow your passion no matter if you don’t have anyone’s support.
How do you deal with helplessness, with letting go, with release and surrender of expectations?
- I normally don’t like to give up on anything or anyone I believe in. But since we cannot control how everyone else is – or their desire to make positive changes, I say my piece, hope for the best and let them be. In the past , I had a difficult time coping with feeling helpless, or letting go – but the older I got the easier these things have become or are becoming. I pick and choose my battles now. If someone doesn’t want to talk about it. I simply let it go and find a positive distraction for my own mental health.
