What a strange ride this year has been, huh? I look back at some of my posts from January and February and laugh at what I was envisioning for 2020 and what actually happened. No one could’ve seen this global pandemic coming. Or maybe some predicted it and we ignored the warnings. Either way it drastically impacted all that we took for granted in “normal” life. And here we are 9 to 10 months later still trying to adjust and adapt to it all. I’ve gone back and forth on how to be more tolerant to those subscribing to misinformation and baseless conspiracy views. It’s kind of a juggle to be honest. Some days I’m more compassionate and accepting, trying to be a bigger and better person. Other days I’m eye rolling and confounded how some folks can be so naive to fall pray for such improbable claims. (Covid made in a lab, 5G tower fears, Bill Gates tracking chips , antivaxxers, anti-maskers, etc.) I’ve found instagram to be a great source of joy and inspiration for evolving my practice this past year, and at other times I’ve also found it to be major drag—another heavy day doom-scrolling. It’s been a bit of a wobbly balancing act for me navigating the hyper-informative world of social media. Some days I just wanna unplug from the insta matrix! Luckily, I’ve found and followed a few accounts who disrupt spiritual bypassing in the yoga and wellness world. (Maybe you know more like these? Feel free to share). Reading their posts helps me stay sane during these strange times. Check out and follow: ☑️ @shantiwithin ☑️ @haylawong ☑️ @conspiritualitypod And tell me, how do you practice patience, compassion and understanding with your friends and dear ones who undermine the covid crisis with conspiracy claims, faux statistics, refuting science, and with that typical “we’re not being told something” mindset?
