Light Interrupts Fear.

Light interrupts fear.

We are all scared right now. Whether it be about our business, our friends’ livelihoods, the economy, concern for a loved one’s health, or fear of getting sick ourselves. 

Many psychological studies show that when we are in a moment of true fear- our old stories or our “inner child” comes out.

I am here to acknowledge that this is true for everyone right now. Never can I think of a time in my life that every single human’s “inner child” has been exposed at the same time.

It is with that thought that I want to acknowledge how hard this is for all of us. It is hard in many different ways, depending on our individual daily scenarios. But it is hard for everyone. 

I also want to take a moment and honor the burdens those of you around me are bearing, and I want to commend you on your strength. Let me be the one to remind you, “we are all way bigger bad asses than we are giving ourselves credit for.”

In the last week we have all faced a completely new challenges; and if you’re reading this, you overcame or took it head on and you are a survivor. You, my friend, are a badass. 

I know it is hard to be still right now. It’s literally counterintuitive in many ways, our inner children want to run and be out and use our usual outlets for stress, and we cannot. That’s HARD. I get it. 

What can you use this time for that will make you proud?

Just remember: you are stronger than you think. And we will get through this.
