Noticing the Good

Caption for photo:  Here is my good for the day.  I went on a gorgeous hike.  With everything closed, I went for a two hour hike, I have no urgency to get things done, there is nothing I can do!  It was liberating to recognize this.  My "to do" list has been yanked out of my hands.  The result, I spend more time in nature.

Hello Healthy Friends!

Some of you may know that I am also a flight attendant.  I love doing coaching, organizing, and flying.  I am so grateful I have crafted my perfect life, and continuing  to fine tune. 

Because I am a flight attendant, I am getting to see how uniform this experience of the coronavirus is across the country.  It's incredible that right now with this pandemic of the coronavirus, the entire US is going through the same exact thing.  It doesn't matter what grocery store, what city, which airport, they are all equally vacant, everyone has masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer around every corner.  And uniformly maintaining the 6 feet of social distancing.  I've never seen this before, where the entire country is experiencing the same thing.  Its incredible, in a way.  Its a wonderfully unifying thing to recognize the hardship, the fears, and challenges that you are going through right now, every other person in the US is also going through the same thing.

While of course I would choose a different reality right now.  I just feel so much love for the US, that we are all experiencing the same thing.  Its just so unique.  And what is truly wonderful, is how much people care.  The level of compassion in public has generally gone up.  If things get worse, we will see where that goes.  This could trigger incredible amounts of fear, and bring out some prickly sides of people.

Another beautiful thing is that everyone is checking in on everyone else.  This chaos has brought us closer together in a way.

So just like anything else, there is ALWAYS good and bad in every situation.  Let's tally up the good!

What good things have you recognized?  Or can you come up with right now?  Are you getting time to rest?  To Reconnect with friends or family?  The hiking trails have been packed lately, are you able to get out into nature?  Are you getting to projects that you haven't been able to do in years?

Also with so many people at home subject to quarantine, this is a perfect time to meditate or do some inner work.  People often tell me they don't know how to meditate.  There are millions of guided meditations on youtube, try one out, and see if you like it, then start collecting the ones you like in a playlist.  If you would like specific guidance on this please reach out to me; schedule a call, or send an e-mail.  We can come up with a framework for meditation or inner work that suits you.  

I am here to support you.
Love, Jessica
