Three lessons from the pandemic.
We’ve all walked through a worldwide pandemic, are on our way through the other side and there are 3 lessons I’ve learned from the Pandemic. What a mind-blowing journey. My heart and love go out to everyone who’s suffered, everyone who’s passed away and to all of us who made it through.
As a glass-half-full person, I hope the pandemic cracked you open to learn more about yourself and take advantage of the growth and lessons from the pandemic. Life is short. Love others. Love yourself. Don’t judge. We only have so many f*cks we can give in a day – choose wisely.
I’ll tell you one thing, I was a hell of a lot more balanced and zenned out at the beginning of this pandemic.
Then the monkey mind took over… you know.. that inability to be still when you’re meditating? The inability to be still when there’s a lot going on in life? The inability to be still when you’re an empath during a pandemic? My monkey mind focussed on the study of plants, animals, pollinators, and all living beings, but more on that later.
Instead of judging what could look like a setback in spiritual growth from my path of Higher consciousness, a regression to the monkey-mind and obsession, the days when I gave into lower vibrating emotions, I’ve learned three important lessons.
#1 Don’t judge yourself
Life is too damn short to give a f*ck about the wrong things. Judging yourself is one of them.
As a wise man, Mark Manson, said in his blog post turned book “The Simple Art of Not Giving a F*ck”, we must pick the f*cks we give.
We only get so many f*cks in a day and if we run around giving them all away there’s nothing more to give when it’s important.
#2 Choose your f*cks wisely
So that’s where this journey has brought us. Choosing my f*cks wisely, being present when I can think of it, and giving myself a break when I’m not “on the path”.
#3 Don’t judge others
Along with not judging ourselves, we have also learned during this pandemic, it feels better to not judge others. It’s a smoother path to acceptance when we don’t judge others.
We have judged the way people wear their masks, or don’t wear masks, judged the level of caution people you care about may or may not have, I mean, we’ve been faced with having to evaluate others as we establish our level of comfort and caution during a pandemic. That part totally sucks.
So back to my point, don’t judge yourself. Be gentle to yourself.
Don’t judge others. Be gentle on everyone around you.
The faster one gets to acceptance the more chill your vibes will be and the more space you will have to receive the beauty and light in this life.
So remember, choose your f*cks wisely.
And sometimes it’s okay to not give a f*ck and let go.
