The Naturale Yogi

Am I satisfied? Are you satisfied? I found myself asking this question at a time like this when there is uncertainty in the world with this pandemic. I found myself scared and anxious at one point but then I thought about the things I can control and I felt better so I got to thinking about whether or not I would have reacted this way years ago when I haven’t been practicing the principles of minimalism and essentialism. I am satisfied even with everything that’s going on. I understand that it might not be the case with others as their being locked in their homes might not be as safe an environment as I have and the best I can do is pray for those people and send positive energies because now is not the time to even consider saying negative things.

How can I stay satisfied when there are uncertainties and we don’t know when this problem will be solved? First is that I know that can’t focus on the unknown because that would just be wasting my time and energy. I can however focus on what I can do which is follow the guidelines to keep myself and my family safe. Remembering what I can control and what I can’t gave me perspective and prevented what would have been a negative train of thought. Next is being thankful with whatever I have at this moment because no matter what there is something to be thankful for even if it’s only the fact that I am alive and that my life might be of help to some other person in the future. Being thankful and hopeful is what’s keeping me satisfied at a time like this and I hope that you are satisfied too!
