COVID19-Does this sound like you?

“Today’s not a good day”? “I can’t go to work.” I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills.” Before you resign yourself to just “getting through” another day, recognize what you’re doing. For starters, you’re conceding that today—because of your stressors—won’t be an opportunity for anything worthwhile. We call this a self-fulfilling prophecy, i.e., what you tell yourself and what you believe, is what you and your life become.

Stop prejudicing yourself with a short-sighted, pessimistic attitude. Instead, open yourself up to the awareness that every day–in spite of your whining and the restrictions imposed by this virus–is an opportunity, an adventure, and the truth is, you don’t know what may be around the next corner. As the saying goes, when the pupil is ready, the teacher appears.”
