\"resilience\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you beginning to think we have been thrown back to ancient times and there are many plagues before us? We are going through a global health crisis, economic bumpy roads, and social unrest.\u00a0 It’s certainly a time to create resilience during difficult times. Here are some strategies that can hold you in safe space with the unprecedented times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solid routines<\/h3>\n

I am a professional organizer and productivity consultant. Naturally the first recommendation I have is to create a rock solid routine<\/a> for your morning, evening or the day. Your routine can have flexibility without begin rigid.\u00a0 Rock solid routines include your set bedtime, your daily exercise and your productivity time blocks. A solid routine helps you know what your plan is for the day, which can be rearranged as needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sacred self care<\/h3>\n

Self care and resilience are like peanut butter and jelly. Your self care will keep you well rested, well hydrated, and positive.\u00a0 We need energy to stay calm<\/a> and carry on. Many people are learning new games, crafts and outdoor activities. When you give yourself time to do what you love or to learn something new, you feel energized and upbeat. Self care is required during these times, and beyond.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trusted sources and resources<\/h3>\n

Media and social media are filled with many emotions and lots of information. By now you have drilled down to what is your trusted source.\u00a0 Stay true to what you trust and rely on.\u00a0 Double check facts online.\u00a0 I have been relying on science based information rather than many opinions. Use many facts to find the truth of the situation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spiritual learning<\/h3>\n

There is not much in the media that is sharing thoughts about faith. This is a time to lean into your faith. That may be through religious ceremonies via zoom, a daily evening prayer, grace at meals or with a prayer book at home.\u00a0 Knowing there is a great good and a higher power empowers our hope and resilience.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Authentic connections<\/h3>\n

Authentic connections help you process the world and keep you grounded. Throughout the pandemic, I have called two friends a day to spend time processing what is going on around us. They have helped me find meaning and purpose in this bumpy time.\u00a0 This is the support we all need as we discuss and sometimes laugh at the tough times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Find the good. It’s all around you.\u00a0 It is the awareness that even in the most troubling of times, good is here.\u00a0 That is resilience. Knowing the good is here.<\/p>\n
