THE WAKE UP CALL

I’ve experienced something of an epiphany in my life recently. An immense amount of stress in my life brought on my mental health issues and it has been an eye opener for me, as I see my support network of friends and family members all struggling with their own mental health issues to varying degrees. It makes my empathic side want to reach out and help them, but I am extremely fragile myself and need to make my own self care my priority.

I think the whole world 🌎 is suffering from a post pandemic, malaise. The pandemic changed our lives in ways we are only just beginning to realise. We are all wounded souls in some ways and there is an increase in violent crimes, abuse and mental health issues in general. I believe the current financial state of the world is also post pandemic, and that only now the world 🌎 is starting to pay the real cost of the pandemic, for several years to come.

What can we do about this? I guess the answer is to become more self aware and develop skills of empathy and understanding of each other. Self awareness doesn’t always come easy. The ability to look inward can be challenging for some people. Skills like mindfulness can help, but we need to be open to this form of therapy.

If only the world has the ability to become more introspective reflective and compassionate of our fellow humans maybe we could start to heal the world 🌎 of the current malaise. We need something to believe in, we need faith to help 🙏 us work to a solution. Im willing to share my faith and try to be positive of my own future 🙏 and also the future of my loved ones.

Are you too committed to being optimistic about one another?. What the world needs now is to love one another and look out for one another.
