Remember, the worst thing we can do is to try to ignore the feelings that we are having or to push them away out of fear of feeling.
Remember that these feelings of fear, uncertainty, chaos, sadness, confusion are not unsafe.
They aren't dangerous.
It's okay for us to feel them.
Sit with them for a minute.
Acknowledge that we feel this way.
Invite them to the dang party.
Ask them if there is anything that we can do about them.
If there isn't, let them go.
Tell them that they are welcome to stay, but that you won't be living your life according to what they say.
If there is something that you need to do about those feelings, do it.
Get the water.
Get the groceries.
Get the batteries.
Make sure your family has an emergency plan.
Then breathe.
And keep breathing.
You got this!
