#5 Grateful


Listen Later

We can’t ignore the fact that the carona virus is the central theme at the moment. Personally I’m experiencing different emotions. On the one hand I’m quite relaxed about everything and am happy to go with the flow. I am also taking the opportunity to reflect on life, the universe and everything. And trusting the process.

On the other hand, I get these moments where I realise, I have never experienced anything like this before: planes being grounded, events being cancelled, schools being shut down, countries in lock-down … wow, I’m sometimes simply overwhelmed with emotions for a few seconds.  Are you experiencing similar emotions?

I thought I would take this time to help shift the focus a little in this strange but real situation. Perhaps we can think about this question “What can I be grateful for in my life right now?” It could be the tiniest thing. For me it is the glorious sunshine that we’re having in Germany right now and the beautiful flowers that are blooming on my balcony and the fact that I could have afternoon coffee with my partner on a Monday afternoon.  What are you grateful for? Write it down – in English.

Come share your bright moments with me on the facebook page @connectedtoeng

Let’s shine a light together.

On that note:

Stay healthy
