No matter how privileged or lucky we are, we don’t escape this life without challenges. Divorce, death, losing a job, moving, empty nests, dealing with aging parents … just change in general can be stressful. We need to have some coping mechanisms in place ahead of time in order to deal with life.
Gratitude: instead of focusing on lack … be grateful for what you do have … right here, right now
Support System: make time for friends and family now … stay in touch and share your life regularly with people who care … be generous with your time and help others without their having to ask for help
Learn a simple clearing practice: this can be as simple as standing in the shower and visualizing all your stress floating down the drain as the water washes it away … or journaling … or essence work … or Tapping … or the Sedona Method … I have many blog posts about different methods and coping strategies … experiment and become a regular practitioner of whichever method resonates with you … it is so important now that we clear whatever doesn’t serve us right now so the stagnant energy doesn’t block the flow of energy in our bodies and create disease
Meditate: walk in nature … chant … have a daily spiritual practice … remember times when you were able to deal with stress in the past
Get healthy: it makes it easier to deal with whatever shows up for us … sleep, eat organically as close to nature as possible and get plenty of exercise, treat yourself to regular massage and body work to let go of stress
When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly. Barbara J. Winter
