Caring for Self and Others
SELF CARE - In these days, many of us are experiencing heightened uncertainty, fear and stress amidst the changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. In times like this, it can be easy to neglect our basic self-care, to forget how connected we are, or to feel distant from God and each other. And yet now is exactly the time we need to step up our wellness practices, in physical, spiritual, emotional and mental ways.
KEEPING YOUR TANK FULL - For many of us, our spiritual, emotional and physical "tanks" have been emptied. CLICK HERE for a series short videos with Rev. Melanie Hardison and Rev. Sally Wright offering tips for your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
One good resource for tending to our spiritual self-care in these times is Caring for Self and Others in Times of Trouble: Some Spiritual Tools and Tips, by Alexander Levering Kearns, director of the Center for Spirituality, Dialogue, and Service at Northeastern University.
Perhaps you have additional ideas and practices of your own. Be gentle with yourself and others in these days. Above all, remember that God loves you and you are not alone.
