Time To Think

I wanted to put something out sooner but I was too busy washing my hands:)

As schools, restaurants, businesses, etc. close and so many of us are in self isolation/quarantining during this extraordinary challenge, we have much more time to think.  Use this as an opportunity to evaluate.

Some things to think about during this challenging period

Think about what your priorities have been.  What are they and/or what should they be?  What is truly valuable to you?  What will really bring you joy, not just happiness?  What gives your life purpose and meaning*, or what could?  Are there changes you could/should make?

Think of what freedom was like and value freedom more.

Thoughts turned to action

Think about who would like to hear from you, no matter how long it’s been.  Think about how that could be a regular habit.

Think about who might need some help and then help them in any way you can.  That’s something to do even in normal times.  Don’t you think?

If you have children, think about how this might affect them.  Let them see you in control, relaxed, and positive.  Hug them.

Love thy neighbor.  Love thyself, so that you can love thy neighbor.

Value every day and every moment given to you.  Then do something of value with that time.

Be grateful.  What are you grateful for?  There’s always something to be grateful for.  Start everyday thinking about what you’re grateful for.  Then end every day that way.

Most Important

Only think positive thoughts.  If negative thoughts enter, while it’s easier said than done, change the channel.  Turn on Seinfeld re-reuns, after all it’s a show about nothing:)

I have more thoughts on what you can think about but if I make this longer you won’t have time to wash your hands:)
