How are you doing? How is everyone holding up? I'm finding myself intensely fascinated by watching how everyone is reacting to having their lives shaken up.

Gary Vaynerchuk likes to say that social media isn't changing us, it's just exposing us, showing who we truly are. I think the same is true of this virus.

My journey has brought me to the place where I truly believe life is not so much about what we have or what we do, but who we choose to be every moment of the day, in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.

Right now I think the two most important tasks set before us in this time are to face ourselves internally, and to show compassion externally to those whom we can help.

Pray for the nurses, doctors and medical workers on the front line of this crisis, many dealing with increasingly difficult circumstances. Pray for those who have lost loved ones. Pray for those who have to go to the hospital for any reason and are unable to be visited by friends and family. Pray for insight and wisdom for our leaders. Donate to charities. Offer to help anyone you know who is elderly or at increased risk if exposed. Send a note to friends you haven't talked to in awhile. Check in with your parents.

When you're not reaching out, reach in. Take time to journal, to read, to meditate, to sit in stillness with yourself. You are having the experience you are having for a reason. If you find yourself with extra time in your day, day after day, this is a divine invitation to reconnect with yourself. Let go of the addiction to business, to events, to a packed schedule. Allow yourself to detox, to relax. Give yourself permission to do nothing for a while. 

This is Day 6 of this mini series, and another one of my favorite topics. Let's talk about recognizing and releasing our resistance, and learning to practice acceptance. This concept completely changed my life. I hope it helps you during this time of disruption and uncertainty.
