Don’t take ANYTHING personally. I can say from personal experience, this is hard to do, and it is so important to practice.

One of my favorite radio stations has this written on their website: Stay home. Stay safe. Practice social distancing, wash your hands, and LISTEN TO MUSIC. I loved that. So, I wanted to encourage us all to not lose sight of the creative energy available. To remember all the ways that we can go inside ourselves, be still, and allow our creative brain to play. So often we are so busy with the busyness of life we forget to play freely, to paint, play with clay, listen or play music, dance, Plant a seed, make a home made card for someone. Yes, there is so much suffering and fear. Yes, there is so much uncertainly and fear. Yet, as long as we breathe we can play and smile at a note of music, at the sound of someone whistling an old tune, flowers blooming that have not done so in three years, birds chirping.

As many of us stay home to do our part in containing the present pandemic. Let’s look for opportunities for creativity, quiet, laughter, nature, connection, and joy. It is so natural that we get restless, irritable, impatient, frustrated, yet with a turn of our head we can refocus our eyes on the rest of what is here in nature.

Our choice is not always in what happens, but in how we respond to it.

Here is a comment on Richard Rohr’s site:

"Story from Our Community:
The shock of a pandemic was . . . overwhelming and foreboding. Spinning out of control, my life seemed to shrink and dissolve as I knew it. Now, as the days pass, sheltering in place has provided a rhythm for more creative arts, breath in nature and pausing in solitude. For that I give thanks." –M. Patrevito

Let me tell you about the model of interactions I grew up with: When my parents were angry with one another we knew it. How? Because they would refer to one another in very formal language, of Mr. and Mrs... they upped the ante with politeness and respect. I believe my Mother might have been the instigator of this model, but it does not matter who led they way as it could not have taken hold had they both not participated. Just like, an ugly fight can’t take hold unless both parties participate either. I have always loved that model: to increase respect in times of emotional heat and intensity.

And as this also encourages: we don't have to wait until we are upset to be be respectful. Let’s just live that way with everyone, including ourselves all the time.

Remember that everyone is having a hard time, so slow down and calm yourself first. Then respond with kindness and patience. Step away to cool down if you feel on fire inside yourself.

We often think of mindfulness and well-being as being connected, but how? Why? Keng, Smoski, and Robins at Duke University published a paper in 2011 showing that "mindfulness brings about various positive psychological effects, including increased subjective well-being, reduced psychological symptoms and emotional reactivity, and improved behavioral regulation."

Today, pay attention to what and how you eat. Let it be guided by kindness, balance, moderation, variety. Let it all be free from shame, deprivation or overindulgence, or suffering.
