To All Those Who Wake Every Morning Worrying About Covid
This is neither advice nor judgement. Just a hopeful perspective shift.
I am no armchair doctor, and neither do I aspire to be one.
Nor am I any kind of psychology expert.
I am a regular lay person, a mother, a lover of life, an explorer of existence, and an action-taker in the pursuit of a better world;
A better world filled with love, respect, honour and kindness.
I know you are concerned for your child. I get it. I am too for mine — all three of them — much more than for myself.
I know you are concerned for your parents. I am too. These days less about the possibility of them becoming ill with Covid, and more about the effect that loneliness and isolation are having on them.
It’s hard having these intense, protective instincts while seeing society milling around seemingly without care, holiday-makers “selfishly” indulging in socially-abhorrent behaviour, and the government as self-interested and self-serving as ever.
Ugh.
It makes me want to vomit.
But, these feelings help no one. Least of all myself and those for whom I need to be present.
Like me, you’ve probably heard it many a time, but fear, stress, anger, and judgement will only bring me down, decrease my resistance to illness, and blur my clarity of thought.
It will take my energy and attention away from those who deserve it, and onto those who don’t deserve it.
Who would I rather serve? Who would you rather serve?
Perhaps you are fuming at the self-selected unvaccinated, or perhaps you are fuming at the masked “sheeple”. Whichever it is, stop wasting your time and energy.
Stop finding the online propaganda that backs up your point of view. No matter how obvious it seems to you, through all the information you are finding online, it will never be anything other than propaganda.
Stop waving the “Truth” flag. We don’t know the truth. None of us.
Well, perhaps someone does, but it will never be made easy to find, so stop assuming that you have found it and know better than the man next door.
Whatever the truth is about what treatment works, whether vaccines are effective or making the problem worse, and who is profiting from this situation; by blaming anything at all, you are missing the point.
The point? What point?
Preserving life. That point.
The greatest life force that exists is love.
Love creates good feelings in the body. Feelings of happiness, joy, nurture and wellbeing.
These feelings relax the muscles, and thus activate the “happy” parts of the brain that, for many, remain dormant indefinitely.
In this state we make better decisions, we feel energised, and are thus able to put our energy into the other things that trigger greater wellbeing; exercising healthily, consuming wholesome foods, eating the right quantities for our individual constitutions, and caring for those around us.
We are electric beings. Energetic systems charged with currents.
Energy is always flowing through our bodies, sending currents that will have either a positive or negative effect.
The food we eat begins with a chemical reaction, then turns into an energetic interaction within our bodies.
Likewise, the emotions we feel have an energetic reaction upon the rest of our bodies.
We may think that we have no control over our physical or emotional wellbeing, but we do.
We have the ability to choose.
We can practice loving – our children, our brothers, sisters, parents and friends. We can practice loving ourselves.
It may not stop Covid, but it may help you to feel better, and stronger.
And it may help those around you to feel greater willpower and better supported.
It might. Just.
It’s within your power.
Choose wisely.
