The path of least resistance

​Week after week, I want to reach out and share some inspiring thoughts to help those of you who are feeling frustrated, anxious, down and plain fed up.
 
Without sounding too prescriptive or trite,  I want to find uplifting words to help:

• combat the frustration of not being able to make plans
• overcome the loneliness from lack of contact and connection
• find energy in spite of the tiresomeness of being with people 24/7 or working around the clock (or both)
• increase your motivation and work towards a few modest goals
• loosen the grip of self-doubt and anxiety

 
Here goes:
Find the path of least resistance – that is, choose a way of being and a course of action that is the least taxing, the least demanding and difficult, but still allows for opportunities to create meaning. Stay mentally and physically healthy & strong. Find daily moments of quiet and solitude.  
 
The fear and the reality of COVID, combined with the impulse for safety can contribute to various constrictions – in our bodies and minds. Find ways around this, so that you can feel open, carefree and light-hearted.
 
Regards,
Coach Minda
 
p.s While masks make it difficult to connect, I have found that eye contact is much much more interesting.
