Covid-19 part 1

This is my most recent FB post and I want this saved in a place to remember how I felt. 

This easy to sit back and watch everything happen. I feel as though I have been hiding. We don't see the day to day of what other people experience. Some people or should I say MANY people...?

Some people have been hit hard with the financial stress
Some people have been hit hard with illness
Some people have been hit hard with depression and anxiety
Some people are really affected by the isolation with young kids
Some people are really struggling with schooling their kids from home on top of managing all the other things
Some people are struggling as the nurses who are working with a mask all the time.
Some people are thriving in spite of the challenges they are facing
Some people absolutely need the social interaction
Some people are empathic in that they feel what others are feeling
Some people are fueled by fear and panic
Some people trust the CDC
Some people don't.
Some people sit back quietly struggling
Some people are really reaching out and helping as many people as possible
Some people won't go out without a mask and gloves in fear
Some people refuse to wear a mask...

Honestly, I have felt 10 of these. And to be perfectly honest, I don't feel like the government is telling us everything. And I see history repeating itself in some ways. I won't wear a mask. Granted I am not a nurse and I don't work at the grocery store. I refuse to give into the fear that is being projected. Fear is an energy or a frequency- when we allow ourselves to be consumed by it- it lowers out immune systems. I did really will the first few weeks with feeling at peace during the panic and fear with the pandemic. But the last 2 weeks, I started to feel angry about it. Angry about the schools closing, the events being canceled, the jobs being layed off, the social distancing, my kids not being able to play with other kids, my messy house. I will not let this sit andd stew, because then emotions stack up.

When emotions stack up, its hard to feel peace. Peace turns to chaos. It then affects how we speak. Then it affects how we think. And if we are not careful, it affects how we connect to to God.

In Mosiah, King Benjamin said this, "if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in your faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye much perish. And now, O man, remember and perish not".

When it says perish, what does that mean? Why would we perish anyway? I think our spirit perishes from lack of peace and love. It perishes from not living a high vibration life. Every word and every thought hold a vibration for good or for bad. Thoughts create emotions. And thoughts thought enough create beliefs. Beliefs create actions.

We act according to our belief, not what we know. Have you ever believed something you knew was not necessarily true? I am concerned how the social distancing is going to affect us months and years from now. the beliefs that are being adopted, that will play a role in how connect with others, when there is no pandemic. Right now, connect! Connect to God or your source and ask who needs you today. And connect with that person. So that the virus of fear, anger, depression, and anxiety are halted.

I am not sitting here thinking I am doing everything right. Because I have my challenges too! Frankly, the last couple weeks have been hard. I miss my daughters going to school and having that social outlet. I can choose to grow from this and so can you.
