In tough times, we learn how clever, creative and compassionate people truly are. We see their genius. In good times, people can coast by and reveal nothing....🌸

If we are depleted in mind, body, spirit, we will not have the energy to think or live outside survival mode.
We can’t thrive in survival mode.
Why?
Because survival mode is in direct conflict with wellbeing.
Fact: Just as pilots are not flight stewards, physicians are not providers.
Each team member is important and has a distinct skill set. Stop the systemic devaluation and mislabeling—it creates unnecessary confusion and chaos.
Truth: “Opting out” of the reality of the pandemic will not bring back normal quicker—but it will prolong the pandemic by creating confusion & spreading infection (!)
Instead, let’s mindfully take the appropriate steps to keep our loved ones safe & healthy, esp during holidays
My kid: Mom, what is DST?
Me: When the world’s clocks “fall back” or “spring forward” to see if we can adjust our body to the clocks.
Kid: …but the sun still rises and sets the same?
Me: yep!
Kid: oh, so DST is like a practical joke! The world is funny!
Me: Yes, it is!
Be wary when you hear/say “well, it was done to me & I turned out just fine”.
If “just fine” means rising rates of mental & chronic illnesses, substance abuse, unhappiness, then we must strive for more than “just fine”.
