Is It Over Yet?

Kevin & me on a recent trip to Florence, Italy.

Do you feel like you are in a never-ending cycle of pandemic anxiety?  Is it over yet? Do you find yourself constantly contemplating - Do I still wear a mask? Can I hug someone? Are people still dying? 

No one really knows if it is safe to come out.  

This entire cycle has created so much fear, sorrow, anxiety and anger.  The isolation alone has harmed so many.  It has created feelings of being crazy or not lovable.  And intense fear of leaving the house because someone may give you the next variant. It has become hard to trust anyone.  If you are like me, your trust factor may run at a deficit.  

PTSD is affecting all of us.  Many stay on a continual downward spiral of depression and fear because they can’t see the end - the light at the end of the tunnel. 

But what if we could break this pandemic cycle? What if we start by deciding that the pandemic is over?  (Now before your PTSD kicks in, I invite you to keep reading.)  I’m not advocating for your to disregard all the tactics you have employed up until now to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.  

I am suggesting that we begin to trust our own GUT.  Take a deep listen to your inner voice, your intuition, your gut and see what it has to say. Remember I mentioned that my personal Trust is minuscule some times.  But listening to my gut helps me to Trust more. Trust myself more. In fact it is what has gotten me through this pandemic healthy and happy. 

So what does listening to your GUT mean?  Well, I’ll break it down tor you:

G equals Guidance, from the inside.  The guidance that is always available to you when you slow down and listen within.  Breathing deeply and listening to the Divine Wisdom that always holds your solutions, your understanding and your connection to Source. So, listen to your own inner guidance. 

U equals Understanding and Unity.  When we listen to our inner guidance, then understanding can illuminate our minds and hearts.  Understanding that we are not alone.  All of humanity is inter-connected to the Source Energy that flows in, through and around all of us.  We can understand that we are One.  Once we really allow that to soak into our minds and hearts we can stand Unified with humanity, with the loving energy of the One Consciousness of ALL.  We don’t have to live in fear. We can live from an inner understanding that Love is all there is. 

Now, here comes the T-word.  T equals Truth and Trust.  Truth with a capital T.  This Truth is beyond science or what the news is or is not saying.  The Truth of your own being. The Truth that again, lies within you.  You can access your Truth when you take the time to listen to your inner guidance and not what others are saying or forcing you to believe. What is your Truth now? Your Truth today?   Once you access your Truth, then you can grow that Trust factor.  This is how you can begin to trust your intuition and then understanding becomes clear and love flows. 

This pandemic cycle appears to be a never ending circle of fear.  It is time to break the cycle.  We can do that by listening to our GUT - Guidance, Understanding, Unity, Truth and Trust.  It lies within you and has always been there awaiting your attention.

I invite you to begin to see that your pandemic experience is over and it is time to heal the divisions and hurts that have occurred during this time.  We can only claim for ourselves individually what our GUT tells us and then act from that place.  You can then choose to re-enter life in a healthy way, creating understanding and unity for all with love. 

That is my invitation to you. Listen to your GUT and see what happens. 

Namaste,  Susan
