Regroup, Renew, Re-Organize
Earthquakes & the plague; how are YOU moving through this GINORMOUS shift of global consciousness and the way you wash your hands?
Always one called a "germaphobe" - the world is just now catching up to what I WAS, and now my inner germaphobe is on OVERDRIVE - let me tell you, it WAS exhausting to just do what I used to actually like - getting water from the artisan springs, buying organic groceries from the local https://www.briarpatch.coop/shop/, and going to the hardware store for fire-making supplies for my heat-source during the days they have the "Geezer Discount".
Now, I strategically plan what to buy, my route in order of stops and how to "suit up" to stay protected from not just the plague, but the people less conscious that take little or no precautions. I've ALWAYS been conscious when someone in front of me sneezed, coughed or farted to hold my breath and steer around them - who wants to breath air and germs from their nose or ass? Well, now that obsession is not only trendy, but encouraged on the news to save your life.
Being one to not have touched a gas pump in years, this is a no-brainer. Boosting my immune system and eating organic, healthy foods has been my lifestyle for DECADES so I don't have to start now; I have told my sis during our daily phone calls, should I be the first one of the three of us siblings to croak after living an organic/healthy lifestyle, please be sure to make some laughs at my memorial party about my obsessive, long term healthy habits and how it got me to the grave first.
I've put off the organizing of the cluttered corners of my cabin, hence, my creativity has taken a hit; can't create freely when the mind's clutter is a result of material clutter in the corners. It feels great to do this, or rather "have it done, finished!" the doing of it feels rather good too. As it seemed an overwhelming task despite it being a small cabin (or because of it), I went through the entire place starting from the front most corner with pen & pad and listed the different corners and areas that needed a makeover. There were only 21 areas. That's not like five hundred - and this list helped because I can use a highlighter pen and cross off the list as I go. It's GETTING DONE!
That said, life as a long term student of mysticism in the woods, living alone with my two poodles, "isolating" is just something I do. I don't call it "isolating" because I just live a life of mostly solitude, some of my closest friends have already died. It's not driving me crazy as those who don't know how to be alone with themselves or the children they tout on Facebook as being "my whole life!" - home schooling is an art and a way to expand your own organizational skills and teach them to your children - along with baking and other skills everyone's been too busy going to after school activities to learn.
That said, I don't want this blog to get too long, so I'll just leave this here for now. I've procrastinated in writing in it as I have with de-cluttering my corners - and now is a perfect time to fire up the energy. Getting it done so I CAN create something tangible to be part of the solution to this fear. Thanks to Darren Hardy's video, I got re-fired up to turn this plague time into a time to re-group and create more light in the world and be part of the solution. https://go.darrenhardy.com/go-leadership-through-covid-19/ ,
P.S. I ordered high quality organic cotton with a high thread count, charcoal filters and a roll of elastic so my 11 year old granddaughter (who lives next door on our homestead property) and I can make masks. She's taken sewing lessons, has her own sewing machine, and is darn great at making clothing. We look forward to creating these as part of the solution.
Meanwhile, take a listen to something soothing or upbeat to enhance your nervous system and soothe your fears.
Spread LOVE, not fear.
