While the world is chaotic, and we are witness to the most inhumane and heartbreaking events, it's only natural to feel angry, hopeless, and overwhelmed.
We are not made for this. Our brains are literally not wired to cope with this much horror. But our brains are wired to keep us safe and work to ensure we are prepared for any potential danger.
By focusing constantly on what's happening, we are making our brains work overtime and placing our bodies into a constant state of fight or flight.
If we stay that way for a long period of time, it can affect us both mentally and physically.
I truly believe love always wins over hate, and light will always shine over darkness, but sometimes the dark needs to come out of hiding for us to see what was happening under our eyes in order for it to crumble and bring change. A collapse of some kind to start building a better foundation and future.
I will never understand how a human can bring such suffering to another. I also know I'm no good to anyone or myself if I become floored by it.
If we hate, we feel angry, and anger causes separation and division. ✨️ We are stronger in numbers.
🦋 Recharge your energy and take all the feelings and emotions, and place them into creativity 🎨
Whether it's painting, drawing, music, dance, cooking, or woodwork. Whatever your version of creativity is. This will ease the feeling of being overwhelmed, anxious, and hopeless .
🦋 Nature is the best way to receive natural internal recharge. We are connected to nature, so whether it's a walk in the park, by the sea, or just sitting in your garden, our bodies connect better and crave this type of healing and recharge 🌳
Binge watching isn't a form of recharge. You will still feel mentally tired after.
🦋 Stop fighting with one another. Words are incredibly powerful, and if used in the wrong way, they can have destructive consequences. If you want to fight, fight the initial problem in a non-violent way.
🦋 Being kind, providing small gestures or even a smile to someone else, not only is a nice for the other person to receive but it also tells your brain you are safe, which in turn relaxes your nervous system.
When we're ok internally, this is more powerful than anything else 💛
