Have you and/or your loved ones been rattled, disgusted, angered, saddened, and/or scared this past week?

Discomfort is normal. 

It’s possible to find calm, more agency, and approach the current situations with clarity and intention when you expect and accept what’s happening.

“Of Course” you feel rattled, upset, and scared. Of course, this is happening the way it is. 

Expect It Should you have expected something different?  We may have hoped it would be different, but nothing happening is unexpected. It feels less disconcerting when we "expect it."

Accept It You don’t have to agree with it, condone it, or like it but accepting the reality of our  current circumstances opens the door to creativity and problem-solving.

Pause and Be Present. Take time to connect to your deeper values. Be patient and purposeful. Take intentional actions that are aligned with your principles of authenticity and compassion, rather than reacting in anger. 

Take small, intentional action. Write letters, support causes, or reach out to loved ones.

The political landscape, personal challenges, and societal changes will assuredly continue to test our emotional resilience.

With grounding tools, reflection, and strategic action, we can move forward with purpose, compassion, and clarity. 

As we navigate uncertain times, staying calm and intentional can help you respond meaningfully and find ways to contribute to positive change.

If you’re looking for more ways to stay grounded, clear, calm, and present in these unusual times
