The pictures of my friends are taken by me, in Aylesbury Vale, UK.
We take every day advices about how to protect ourselves and the others, wich is good and helpful. We are being advised about how to spend the time home, wich is helpful, as well. But just a few people talk about how to exceed the fear and how to use the free time to enjoy, or learn to enjoy, ourselves. We are worried about our safety and about the safety of the loved ones. About jobs, businesses, investments, about our future in general.
But, how to come back in the present moment and accept it as it is?
"Can anxios thoughts add a single day to your life?", Someone asked 2000 years ago. No. We can just protect ourselves by being responsible and respectful with the rules - yes, staying home - and dropping the baggage of the unnecessary thoughts.
Deep into you it's something different of your surface, something more than the story of your life, something more than your emotions or fears: the wonderful YOU. Take care of That, it is the only thing we really have. All the rest are meant to end. The closer being to you, you are. And the closer person to God is Yourself!
After you spend time with the family, after you write a message to a friend, after you spend time online, find every day time for yourself! Observe your thoughts and your feelings! Be conscious of them!
You will not contribute, with your thoughts, to the pollution of this world, but you will be the one who cleans the mess!
Do not hesitate to do everything you can: prayers, meditation, reading, contemplation, etc, whatever suits you, all the practices are welcome.

If you are physically completely alone at the moment, apriciate your onw company!
Take good care of yourself!
Thank you for reading!

Wow! Amazing inspirational post. You have pointed out some wonderful points on staying connected to yourself. For me playing with my lovely kids, laughing with my beautiful wife, talking to my parents, completing atleast 15K steps, praying and thanking to my God for all the wonderful blessings, writing at least one post on this wonderful networking platform are the ways through which I feel connected to myself.

What an inspiring post you got here @LiliSol
What I actually took is this saying " Can anxious thoughts add a single day to your life"... The answer is No!
Take good care of yourself too.
Best regards

Thank you @Austinelewex, thank you so much!
The One who said that is Jesus. I didn't mention that to not give a religious sense to this message. Religion it's a way, but there are other ways or religions, and personally I respect all. 🙂
Best wishes,
Lili

Grazie, caro @Giuseppe7980 !
This is the purpos of challenges, to make us understand something about ourselves. Always. So, a difficult time it's an opportunity to evolve and grow, but just a few people realise that.
Ciao, @Giuseppe7980 ,
A presto, Lili

@LiliSol Excellent reflection that takes us away from thoughts that lead to nothing, we must be first with ourselves and act for others, it is the actions and not the thoughts that change the world, thanks for this contribution!
I invite you to vote for my idea:
