COVID 19

Okay, so you're likely extremely fed up with hearing about the Corona Virus - Covid 19.
I get it.
It's fucking annoying.
It's literally all anyone is talking about, now.
In my opinion, there are two types of Corona Virus believers.
1. Corona is nothing but the flu. A.K.A shut up and get over it.
You're being over dramatic.
2. The Corona Virus is going to kill everyone. Stay home, don't go out, and ensure you are wearing a mask and gloves at all times.
I personally, don't fear death.
So call me ignorant, but I do not fear catching The Corona Virus.
I do however, fear catching The Corona Virus and sharing it with another human.
I do also think that people should stop sleeping with everyone they meet;
because honestly - AN STD CAN FUCKING BE UNKNOWINGLY SPREAD AND KILL YOU, TOO (just sayin'). But i'll save that argument for another day.
I am well aware of the consequences the Corona Virus could have; like being coma-induced or death. However, I also believe that we are all immune, if we allow ourselves to believe we are.
You see, we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to.
If you tell yourself you're sick - you will likely get sick.
If you tell yourself you can't cook - you will never have the desire to learn how to cook.
If you tell yourself you cant lift something up - you won't every try.
Do I believe that you can control whether you get sick or not, with your thoughts? Yes and No.
I believe that no matter what - being healthy, positive minded, optimistic, and active will ensure you are a bit harder to tackle, than someone who doesn't prioritize their health.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
If there is one thing I hope you takeaway from this pandemic, it's this:
Prioritizing your health isn't selfish. Ensuring your family is happy, is admirable. And finally, if you're living a passion-less life, change it, now. Life is fucking short.
I encourage you to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Workout often. Eat tons of fruits and vegetables. Give the middle finger to anyone that says watermelon or carrots will make you fat. Have the Easter chocolate. Devour the birthday cake. Enjoy at least 1 lazy day a week. And for God Sakes, remember that:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT.
Call me negative, but we will all die.
Yep. We all die. It's inevitable. I'm sorry if thats hard to hear or read, but it's fucking true. When it is our time to die, it is our time. Therefore, I have never feared death (I also have survived some pretty fucked up things, and I do also believe I am a cat with 9 lives). Now, I personally see this as realistic, not negative... But you can take it as you wish. Keeping my thoughts rational and realistic, is what keeps my anxiety low and my intuition, heightened.
I believe this virus:
1. Sucks shit.
2. Fucking makes a solid amount of the population absolutely miserable.
3. Is creating the next depression.
4. Challenged everyone from the homeless, to the poor, to the rich - in different ways.
5. Has a milllllion life-long benefits to it, too.
Seriously.
This pandemic sucks.
Let's admit it.
Not knowing where your next meal, your rent money, your groceries, etc are coming from - is anxiety provoking.
Not being able to go out of the house, makes life quite challenging.
We are all going a bit stir crazy, lacking motivation, not relying on discipline to get us through our days.
We are often comparing ourselves to the (minimal) people whom are using this time to thrive and achieve their personal best efforts; while ours, lack. It's demotivating, watching others use this time as success and optimal opportunities to achieve their goals, while we (or others) are struggling to get out of bed. However, it's okay, because this pandemic is also fucking awesome!
The truth is: there is so much beauty in this breakdown.
We are able to spend more time catching up on sleep, after years of overworking for someone who didn't give a shit about us.
We are getting creative, and allowing that creativity to bring us joy and excitement.
We are challenging ourselves in new ways, breaking free from mundane thoughts.
We are able to connect to our souls, by spending time processing what is going on in our minds.
We are driving ourselves crazy, by listening to our internal voices that were often too quiet to be heard, due to daily tasks, breathing in their every nudge.
We are able to step back, and soak in some relaxation.
We are connecting with mother earth, again.
We are healing the planet, one insolation day at a time.
We are reducing a carbon footprint.
We are removing toxic people and energies from our lives.
We are literally cleaning out the closets, and doing a damn good job at it, too.
What someone else is doing with their time throughout this pandemic, shouldn't control what you do with yours.
Some people are meant to slow the fuck down - sit back, and have a damn beer. Other people, are being guided to use this time to make home improvements, business improvements and goal setting. Many of families are being guided by this pandemic, to be better parents, more mindful of their children and more cautious of their words and efforts.
You see, we are all on our own journey. And no matter how you view this pandemic, is just that - your view on it.
If you are killing it - by setting goals, working on your physical abilities, business, home improvements, etc... Good for you.
If you are killing it - by resting, relaxing, spending time with your house-mates, doing mental and internal work and healing those wounds, etc...Good for you!
If you are killing it - by no longer tracking your food, and allowing your body to just balance out on its own...I commend you.
If you are killing it - by trying an entire new routine... Hell yes!
If you are killing it - by creating the life you dream of... Go after it!
If you are killing it - by spending more time with your kids... I know it's hard, but I am so proud of you!
If you are killing it - by simply waking up and making it through the day right now... FUCK YES! This is a really fucked up time, and sometimes, just putting two feet on the floor is more than enough!
If you are killing it - by simply fucking being you... THEN FUCK WHAT ANYONE ELSE IS DOING, OWN IT SIS !
Everyones journey is just that - their own!
So be happy with whatever your journey involves.
Don't make yourself depressed by comparing yourself to people on social media, or by beating yourself up. Love yourself for all that you are, and all that you accomplish.
I promise, you're doing a fucking phenomenal job!
