What gives you a sense of space, silence or peace? Waking up first thing in the morning, are you able to take a deep breath in and out and stretch. Do you live alone or with others!
What do you enjoy ? Is it reading for 5 minutes? Going outside to watch the sunrise? A walk with a friend or alone? Visiting the gym or doing aerobics outside?
“Treasure what is in front of you”. by Claudia Jessie of Bridgerton fame. (actor/buddhist) She has lived experience of poverty as a young person. The poverty was so profound that they could not afford to eat. The kindness of her local community helped them survive hunger. The neighbours bought food for the family. She talked about her hard working mother raising her and her sibling alone.
She found resilience through the practice of meditation. She practices for up to an hour a day to help her navigate panic attacks and anxiety. I would not have known this had she not spoken about it openly. Hopefully her story of her experiences will inspire others too!
