Difficult Times.. A Diary

Interesting story; I have been writing something to be shared, basically writing what I was doing to handle the stressful time, and having to be locked down at home. I was writing with so much excitement to share this with others, that maybe someone can be inspired and have more hope in each day. I realized that afterwards, my writings of how I was feeling week by week were changing greatly, so I kept on writing. Here’s how the writings looked like week by week. Week 1   What to do during this time? Reflect! Slow down, and reflect; on everything. What I did personally was that I decided to take out a pen and my favorite notebook and write down what I wanted to do every day during the time I will be spending at home. I found out so many things I wanted to do! Eventually, but not immediately. I started with writing down some form of a schedule; I arranged my work time, time for working out at home, time to read and reflect, or just watch something I like. ...

Pandemic! But Don't Panic, Reflect..

I know you’re scared, and worried, and anxious. And it is all totally understandable. What is happening, it does make sense to everyone. We are in a time where nothing is clear, but all that we know for sure that this is a time of change. All our lives are a time of constant change.   If anything is certain, and if anything does not change, that will be change itself. And change doesn’t always look appealing.

The laws of nature are only taking their part and responding to our actions, to our choices, to what we choose to do every day collectively as humanity, to what we set as a priority, what we chose to believe in and what we chose to ignore and keep away. We can’t escape reality...

Don't Panic, Reflect.. What's Happening?

In order not to panic, and reflect. We need to clear our minds and adjust ourselves to think more. And the more we listen to our thoughts and feelings the more we will be asking the right questions, and hopefully finding meaningful answers to them that shall give us peace. From my modest perspective, I believe the first logical question, and the one I tend to see very often is; What is happening? A change, a big change.  A difficult time that seems to present danger to people, but is this danger something that we were not expecting? Is it really out of the blue, and no clues or hints were seen before? Were we not aware of our actions, as human beings, collectively? What have we been doing to the environment? To nature? To animals? To other human beings? Our own families? Our own people?  What choices have we been making over the past years? It wouldn’t be wrong to say that we brought it upon ourselves, but that does not mean we are guilty and worthy of pu...
