#joyisachoice #joyiswithinyou #difficultemotions #difficulttimes I see the suffering. I feel the anxiety. I sense the worry. The hesitation is present and impacting us. 100k people impacted by a growing virus with no vaccine. Feels daunting. This can happen at the time of pandamic. This can happen anytime our safety is threatened. Does worry help us? Never. What helps us? Feeling grounded and centered. Believing that no matter how hard, we have got this. How do we ground ourselves in the chaos of news and environments that add to chaos? How do we center us, ourselves in the midst of uncertainty? We go back to the origin of us. We remember our own qualities. We remember that smile that brings us joy and comfort. And then we smile because we know now that our smile is the source of our joy at this point and in this moment.
