Dear Janel:
You are welcome and thank you for expressing your appreciation and for being here!
“My anxiety has been extremely heightened by the way, however, which means I’m spending A LOT of time thinking about the perils of being a human“- your experience of life, all of it- takes place in the distance between your ears. This is where you think and this is where your experience of emotions is made possible, including anxiety. There are ways to make this distance in-between-the-ears way more peaceful than it is regardless of current global troubles beginning with the intent to make it so.
When you can’t change what happens in the vast distances of the globe, all that’s left for you to change is what happens in that very short distance between the ears: to no longer suffer unnecessarily, when your suffering benefits no one.
“Most of my friends and colleagues were absolutely freaking out when COVID emerged“- looking back, at least for those not directly affected by Covid deaths, looking back the Covid years almost looks, in retrospect, like the good old years, does it.. in your experience?
“And the war has been going on for months. Why aren’t more people terrified??? I genuinely don’t understand“- you know how terrifying feeling terrified feels like… no wonder people don’t want to be terrified! Back to the option of peace in between the ears regardless of global events and threats… think about it, will you?
