You own your response.
We must accept that we cant control external circumstances during this pandemic.
And this will affect outcomes for you and perhaps the world on a collective level.

Be intentional about how you spend your time.
Transmute fear or panic into something that will enable growth instead.
So, turn off the news and get to it.

These are, indeed, trying times for all of us.
The advice is to simply accept these feelings, whatever they encompass.
You may feel depressed for all sorts of reasons.

This is all completely expected and normal.
You dont need to cover up your feelings or invent some alternative reality for yourself on Instagram.
If things suck right now, allow yourself time to process and accept it without beating yourself up.

I Am The Hero Of My Own Life, a Guided Journal by Brianna Wiest
If this week is more about coming to terms with what is, thats okay.
Get a journal out every morning and write your observations, concerns, thoughts, and feelings.
Get it all out, as if ridding yourself of toxins before starting your day.
You must be open so that let the light back in.
This Weeks Collective Energy: External
Nine Of SwordsThe Nightmare
No joke!
I will make this cards summary brief because it merely confirms what we all know.
This could be due to a lack of data, supplies, or actionhard to say.
You cant avoid it, you cant overcome it.
What more can you do in that moment?
Thats the energy, so dont expect bold new moves this week.
There will continue to be an overall feeling that we dont have any of this under control.
Turn off the news if you become exceedingly angry or deflated that not enough is being done.
Youll be right to feel this way, but it wont stop the wave from coming.
We need you healthy.
Collective hug to you, my friend.
Five of SwordsRest
Its okay to stop, its okay to rest.
You must recharge your yourself.
This is a time of retreat.
This is what you need right now, despite the disruption being unexpected.
Are you resisting this time of forced pause?
I strongly suggest the following book to work through internal motivations while you have the time.
Conversely, if you are loving this downtime, good for youkeep it up this week.
Dont feel bad if youre not productive enough.
