Why Stay Grounded at These Times?

If you’re anything like me, the last few weeks could have been a little rough on you.

Your entire routine got thrown for a loop.

All the influencers around you screaming through the computer telling you to pickup that side project, start working on your hobby.

All the while public media is screaming at you telling you that everyone is dying.

What am I to do?

Well, the goal of this weeks newsletter is to share some resources on what I’ve been doing to remain grounded through all of this chaos.

Healing Mantras

So first off, you don’t need to be ultra spiritual to listen to these.. think of it like this. If all you’re repeating through your mind is a chant what other room is there for other thoughts. I’ll go ahead and link some of my favorite below

High Vibrational Podcasts

We completely become what we are consuming so I just want you to think about what media you’re consuming on the daily and does it match up with who you wish to be?

Ambient or Relaxing Music

I have an entire playlist that last 5 hours on Spotify geared towards what I mark as relaxing or just music that doesn’t make my mind run on and on. Typically this means not many lyrics at all and soothing music that you probably could play in the background.

Enjoy Some Guilt Free Content

This means playing some video games mindfully, don’t attack yourself for not being “productive” at that moment because you are being “productive” just towards another cause. Or feel free to make a movie list and get to crossing it out as well :)

Feel free to join the slack and talk about some games

Read a Fulfilling Blog

Read something uplifting rather than attacking and demanding of your time. This really all depends on personal taste so I’ll link a few that I enjoy from time to time and I think you’ll get the jist.

Create a Goal Within Anything

Giving yourself some sort of purpose, If that be getting to a certain level within a video game or just crossing a certain amount of movies off a list. The notion here is to focus on giving your days some sort of direction as you’re living all through it.
