Welcome to news for You. Stay focused, Stay connected.
Health
We are still in the middle of the pandemic. Vaccines have shown strong promise in initial results, and the very initial rollout is happening in different parts of the world. Vaccine production scale-up and distribution takes time, so for the next 3-6 months, NPIs (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like social group management, masking, hand washing will keep us safe. Treat your future self well, do those things now so that you feel better later. If you need help, reach out to someone (we will put up resources soon if you don’t have anyone) or make a digital note for yourself to put distance between you and your feelings.
Wealth
Wealth is multi-dimensional, from currency to connections. How are you doing financially? Do you have enough for projected expenses for this month? Next 3 months? Take a few moments to reflect on your finances and GPS yourself: Green, yellow, Red. In all cases, there are actions you can take to shore up your resilience. If you have questions, send them to us, and we will put up resources for you.
Wisdom
Give: Imagine someone who needs your help. What advice would you give them? Speak it out in your mind and send it to them. Or send them a text, note, or schedule a time to do that.
Receive: Is there someone you need to call on for advice? Do it. If you just need to send your question out, send it here and we will put up resources for you.
Here’s an offering from Lewis Carroll (author of Alice in Wonderland): If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.
News
There is always something going on every single second in every single square mile of this world. Pay good attention to your inner and your outer selves and you’ll best be able to connect with everything else then.
We will put up some upcoming events of interest.
Friends
How is your relationship with your friends? Anyone who has crossed your mind in a while but you haven’t chatted with? Send them a text, it takes a few seconds. If you need to talk with someone but aren’t ready to do so in person, note out to yourself what you’d say to them and keep it aside for when you can. If you prefer verbal expression, your phone can recognize your voice and translate what you say into words.
Family
Your family is your original social hyperlink. Reduce the distance between your desired and actual family engagement. There are many ways, let us know if you are stuck, and we will put up resources.
Purpose
Read this sentence: My purpose is _____________________. It’s okay to experience a vacuum as you read it, let the vacuum be. Thoughts will rush in to fill it, feel them out and filter them to see if they are a meaningful purpose for you.
Love
Read this sentence: I love myself.
Stay connected with yourself.
Fun
Keep your heart open to fun!
