Some reminders for navigating these tough times

[consciouscat]

Please know:

It's okay to be afraid.
It's okay to be sad.
It's okay to be angry.

It's also okay to feel grateful
if you and your family are safe.

If your home,
your town,
and your community are all fine,
that's okay.

You don't need to feel guilty
because others are worse off than you.
And it's okay if you do feel guilty.

It's okay to feel whatever you're feeling.

And it's okay to recognise
when you can't handle any more big emotions
and allow yourself to numb out
on Netflix,
or chocolate,
or any other coping mechanism
that doesn't hurt you or others.

Feel what you're feeling.

Cope however you need to.

And in between
do what is within your reach
to help your fellow beings.

And please know

that this too

shall pass.

only thing I needed to do differently was alsoThank you @flaxz.alive. I had read both the #iamalive and the #aliveandthriving guidelines before using the tags and I didn't think I should use the latter. I am confused. Can I clarify? I'd like to do this correctly. So everything I did was correct for the We Are Alive Tribe but the add the #aliveandthriving hashtag? Thanks for your help!

[flaxz.alive]

Yeah so your post does not qualify for the #IAmAliveChallenge, but if you add the #AliveAndThriving tag it does qualify for that, have an awesome day and stay !ALIVE
