Reactive Choice




"Sit quietly and just be present."
Suzanne Giesemann

As soon as the feeling of overwhelm is detected, take a step back.  Pause, wherever we happen to be and simply breathe.  Assess where the emotional trigger is coming from:  news coverage, depressing weather, COVID, or the past.  

We cannot necessarily dodge  upheavals, but we can alter how we view them.  We can offer prayers, beam happiness and light towards others, sustain healthy prevention, and adjust thoughts.  What is imperative, however, is staying in the moment.

We can send love out into the world, joining the collective efforts towards peace.  Do not allow the self to collapse backwards, nor spring too far ahead.  Just in this moment, focus on extending love.
