Moment of Transparency: I was reflecting on everything going on in the world right now, and God brought me back to 2017. 2.5 years ago, I was isolated, depressed, broken, and hurt. Quarantined in a sense, because I didn’t want to share my pain with others. I became socially distanced and left the house as little as possible. I couldn’t leave without feeling like I was suffocating, the pain was real deep. I felt confined, not only to a place, but within myself.
Of course, my situation and what’s going on in the world now are two completely different scenarios, BUT I strongly believe they will have similar outcomes. Simply put, life will become better than before.
Before I was comfortable with leaving the house again, I first had to find peace within. I encourage you to find peace within and regardless of the chaos and day to day changes we may experience, that peace will get your through.
I also do believe God equips us with tools to cope. I found my love and calling in writing during my season of isolation. Find what lifts your spirits. Find healthy ways to cope and nourish your body with the right nutrients. Sip some chamomile tea (which contains antioxidants that provide calming effects and supports immunity…) I’ll continue to post more examples.
This too shall pass. We are resilient.
With love,
Sadé 🌻💛
