Keeping Safe

Through The

Difficult Times

When we’re in the middle of intense, challenging and difficult times, it becomes even more urgent than usual for us to have compassion for ourselves: to be gentle, tender, kind and loving toward our frazzled, stressed, stretched or feeling-stuck selves.

It is especially important to remember that we each have our own rhythm and style with which we process crisis, challenge and impasse. It isn’t okay to use anyone else’s way as a standard by which to measure our "progress."

It’s important to remember that what look like "detours," "avoidance," and "running away" may actually be our taking just the time we need to get to the next place.

When change is accelerating and everything is moving very quickly, it always helps to try living in the very thinnest slice of "now" that we can define.

And, pulling the covers over our head and feeling sorry for ourselves actually can be incredibly relieving, helpful respite: it ‘s one sure way of taking a rest before we go back into the fray.
