Episode #239
Crises end—maintain perspective by recalling past recoveries (9/11, 2009) and practicing gratitude.
Control your inputs and actions: schedule daily media-off time, stop unproductive rumination, and focus on creating value.
Anchor to core values and faith; use productive pauses (journaling, coaching, prayer, exercise, sleep) to gain clarity and resilience.
Then you could just be happy eating a cracker in the rain.
Maybe God wants us to fix our eyes on him at this time and know that nothing else matters. Not sports, not money, nothing except for his love for us and our love for others.
The sun will still rise in the morning, no matter how bad things seem or how dark it can get, there will always be a light shining.
A plan for uncertain times.
What now? School closed. Events canceled. Work meetings have gone virtual. How do you respond? What do you do? How do you sort through the masses of information yet still live your life? In this episode, I offer a much-needed perspective as well as concrete action items that will position you for facing this unprecedented challenge. And maybe, just maybe, coming out of it even better than ever!
