soothe your self

Posted: November 4, 2020 by sasha nelson

We cannot control the outcome of our action. Still, we can turn toward the world, plant good seeds, and trust that they will eventually bear fruit. Whenever a few people are committed to the vision of a free and just humanity, transformation can happen, despite the greatest odds.

Jack Kornfield, “The Wise Heart

Whatever the political, socioeconomic, and pandemic-related outcomes in the coming months [because who really knows with 100% certainty how anything will ever unfold?], now more than ever is a time to soothe our Selves from outside-in and inside-out.

This does not necessarily mean doing things that feel good only for a fleeting moment [hi junky comfort food], but more so things that will sustain our wellbeing long term [au revoir recurring stress and COVID / bonjour preventative physical and mental health measures].

Whomever you voted for, and whether or not you have contracted or been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, we must remain nourished so that we can nourish one another. In doing so, we have a much better chance of cultivating a more unified and less violent, divisive, destructive system as a whole – beginning with our own personal lives.

We are all participants of this human existence; what we do [and how we do it] directly affects and influences one another.

Let’s soothe our minds, bodies and planet by filling the tank with enough effective fuel to function optimally. Let’s do it for the collective wellbeing of our Selves and those around us

Here are a few of my current go-to insights, eats, products, and practices for attainable and sustainable ways of self-soothing:
