Embracing
our Fear
with Love

Fear! Anxiety! Panic!. Thoughts and
emotions are powerful and viral. Yes, as
contagious as corona virus, our unseen
enemy! But the mother of our thoughts and
feelings is our SELF! And our child, our mind,
has become anxious and weary. So, let's
embrace our child of fear with love!

Let's care for our SELF!
1 . Stay in the NOW.
❖ The present is a gift. The past is gone.
❖ The future is yet to come.

2. Learn to PAUSE.
❖ Breathe in and out. Relax. Breath is the source of
energy.
❖ Breath is life. I focus on my breathing.
❖ Beauty makes me pause.l see the wonder of
everything-- myself, others, nature, the universe,
and the Divine.

3. Be AWARE of what is happening inside and
around oneself, non-judgmentally.
* Simply watch as an observer.
* I am self-aware. I pay attention to my physical, mental and
emotions tensions.
* I own up to my feelings. They are neither right nor wrong.
* What is happening there? What is going on with the other?

4.With the warmth of KINDNESS, feel the flow
of gratitude and compassion within.
* I am grateful. I understand you. I am here for
you. I am listening to your story. I care.

5. Find time to EXPRESS oneself through art,
play, music, gardening/planting, movement,
drawing, writing, and other forms of creativity
and share that joy to others.
* I am creative. I have the power to create

Let’s start……

It is an eastern practice that has been
embraced by western psychology. Today, it is
used as a self-care and mental hygiene tool.
MINDFULNESS is a way of life where we
focus or pay deliberate attention to what is
happening to us and around us in the present
moment without judgment, warmed by
kindness and spiced by curiosity.
Heard about mindfulness?

Let's care for our FAMILY!
When any emotion is triggered especially in
our own family, rather than immediately acting
or reacting to it, first PAUSE. To pause means
to be self-aware of your feeling and accept it,
not judge it as right or wrong. Remember: Any
emotion that we do not recognize has power
over us.

In dealing with intense emotions, remember
the acronym R-A-I-N:
RECOGNIZE the emotion.
I am afraid.
I am angry.

ALLOW the energy to flow.
Breathe deeply. Wherever is the bodily pain
that comes with the emotion, be mindful of that
part. Visualize light in that area and nurture it
with a gentle touch/massage and talk to that
body part gently, i.e. "My heart, you are slowly
calming down.

Go INSIDE yourself, gain insight of what is happening.
When we look at any family member, we must adopt an
observer mind. Seek to understand every member of the
family:
What is happening there? What is going on in the other?
Ask questions and listen mindfully to their stories.
In close family relationships, if it is a choice to be right or
to be kind, always choose to be kind.

NURTURE yourself in a non-judgmental manner.
❖ Interact with family members during meal times without
your phone or gadget in your hand.
❖ Remember that every day, there is always something or
someone to forgive, and that includes our own selves. If
we are kind to ourselves, we will be kind to others.
❖ Let the family pray, play, or create something together
and simply enjoy togetherness.

Let's care for our
COMMUNITY!
We are all connected, living, breathing, and
caring for one world. As a citizen of our
country, we can share compassion to our
community through our discipline, honesty,
acts of kindness, donations, positive thoughts,
prayers, and meditation.

Let's care for our
COMMUNITY!
If you are a frontliner or first responder in this
pandemic, you are special and most beloved. To
keep you strong and resilient, always remember:
God's love is my strength and protection. I am
grateful to others who are giving me support. I am
blessed with health, immunity, courage, and love as
a divine instrument for healing.

•Thank You
