Throughout the recent decade many of us have learned that certain things we thought were so are no longer so. If the world looks crazy right now, remember that you hold the steering wheel of your attention and your certainty.
As to learning, we have become aware that the media has misled us, not been concerned with fact checking. We have become aware that some corporations no longer have ethics, blaming it on the need to consider shareholder profit. For shareholders who do not have a sense of what a soulless entity can and is doing, including to our mental emotional health.
We have become aware of how government officials are no longer trustworthy and seldom represent our beliefs and wants nor fulfill our needs as a country, state or region.
We see that medical services have become businesses in which doctors spend very little time with patients to understand their current and future health needs.
We know that processed food isn’t healthy, but it is very available to and consumed by the addicted who are trying to find taste satisfaction to calm and satisfy their nerves. And prepared foods are stored in plastic that leach microplastics into what you eat and therefore into your body. The microplastics cannot be digested or eliminated from our bodies without certain detox.
Who can you trust? Yourself.
To consider:
- Know who represents you in all forms of government and what their actions are on your behalf. Vote for those who do represent you and communicate via phone or group meetings. Never sign a petition as they are ignored thanks to people who are paid to get you to sign them.
- Find practitioners who are invested in your health, healing and recovery.
- Just because they have a diploma doesn’t mean they are up to date or informed with knowledge.
- Demand time from your health practitioner, no more hit and run service.
- Seek out health and nutrition information from trusted sources.
- Know who financially backs your trusted source. It is easy to be misled by what seems a good source, but is supported by a very biased source.
- Shop the outside isles of the grocery stores and never buy processed foods or foods sealed in plastic.
- Read and understand the labels of anything you purchase. There are a lot of false claims on labels. Natural flavors are not natural.
- Find ways to defuse any stress you feel and refresh yourself with stretching, deep breathing or simple activities such as walking in nature.
- If you are in a stressful work or relationship, change it. You hold the key.
- Know and honor yourself.
- Most of all stand up for yourself or find a someone who can help you do that. Even a casual friend can help you get mental certainty back.
Always, crazy times or not, drive your attention to where you can be most effective and do the highest and greatest good for yourself.
And remember, good rolls downhill.
