I think that with gratitude comes the belief that you have the ability to do something good for others. If you feel inconvenienced that you’re working from home • feel grateful that you still have work that can be done in solitude. If you are bored because you’re spending your time inside • feel grateful that you have time to reflect AND appreciate the people who are still outside working to keep you safe. Sometimes I think we need to remember that if we have the time to complain or feel disappointed, that in itself is a luxury. When you’re really against the ropes, there isn’t time to shout into the void or wallow. Instead, energy is spent fighting nonstop to try to make things work. I hope we can continue to be compassionate and understand that right now, everyone is dealing with uncertainty, disappointment, and problems. 3 things that can be done today: Stay home (if you can).

Post-surgery, I experienced a form of social distancing. Things improved for me mentally and emotionally when I was grateful and made the choice to stay connected. Unfortunately, it feels like we are stuck having to react to a lot. Let’s not forget that we can still act. Resist kicking into full survival mode and try this instead: Help yourself by thinking about how we can all take care of each other.」3月16日 8時39分
