Hope is actually something we create. It's not something that magically appears from an outside source.
Now more than ever, overcoming fear and holding onto hope are necessary and important. Trying these steps
below will ___________.
Be Kind to Yourself
Think about what you need most, and then do it. Is it a cup of tea, quiet music, a little rest, or reading
inspirational literature? Whatever it is, grant yourself permission to do it, even for just a few minutes.
Create a Daily 5-Minute Silence Moment
Light a candle and reflect. Just silently reflecting in front of a lighted candle is extremely rewarding. This
may be the one time of day when you feel connected to your own soul, and perhaps even something larger.
Treat Each Day Like a Precious Gift
What if today was the last day of your life? How would you want to live it? Ask yourself this question
throughout the day. It will help you let go of the countless annoyances that tend to make most people lose
balance.
Take a Break
Every day, take a 30-second break to look at the sky, breathe deeply and offer thanks. Let the sky be a sign
of hope. Think of other people around the world as you look at the sky, and know that we all share this planet
together. Among all of us, we have the ability to create solutions to the problems that now exist.
Express Love
Surprise a friend with a hug. Leave your partner small notes expressing thanks for kind acts. Doing all of
this adds warmth and positive energy to our lives and the lives of people around us. It's also very comforting
both to the giver and receiver of each loving act.
