Being Not Okay
Morning Mantra: "Just because someone carries it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy."
Everyone is dealing with the stress of this pandemic differently. You may know or meet someone that acts like everything is great, they don't have a care in the world.
Ask how they are anyway. Send a card, pay for lunch, call for no reason.
We are so conditioned to be "fine" that we will cover up our stress and anxiety to appear better than we are. Especially those that are "expected" to be strong, like mothers, nurses, teachers, and most men.
Maybe you are the "strong" one your family or group.
Hear this strong ones....it's okay to not be okay right now. There are plenty of reasons to feel the weight of the world, and it's also okay to express it.
Everyone needs a release from their heavy load to renew, to rest, to remember what it feels like without it.
If we don't get a release, we can lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel, we can get stuck under the weight.
Today is a good day to check on your strongest friends, to be kind to everyone you meet. You do not know what burdens they carry.
