23 days ago, before the lockdown in Italy, I was working on my projects, minding my own business, planning my week ahead with my clients, booking holidays for summer, working on my upcoming events, booking flights to see my friends and family overseas, ….
and the whole world changed.
With this coronavirus and lockdown in Italy and having a social responsibility to stay inside and stop the movement of the community.
It’s been a wild ride. There was a lot to take in.
Grocery store shelves got emptied, people were panicking, and not being able to move, not being able to go running, … all this uproar …Wow!
It has been a great experience, though, to work with some thought leaders and watch how each of them come up with different ideas to help people have different perspectives in navigating uncertainty.
It’s time that we start harnessing our emotions and manage our fears.
A lot of people understandably feel afraid, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, and uncertain.
It’s time to move past fear and anxiety into positivity and abundance. And I am going to tell you how.

There is a big opportunity out of what is happening right now, but it’s disguised.Because we are looking for the patterns that we used to see. If we are in fear, our mind focuses on fear. We need to move from fear to gratitude. Then you will be able to see the opportunities. This situation is affecting everybody in one way or another. We never experienced it before.
Our brain works on patterns on understanding. Our senses are censoring everything around us. What is happening now is completely brand new. We don’t have a pattern recognition so that we can act on it.
Here is the deal. The government stepped in and said we couldn’t do what we did. But, it’s just a pause! Don’t make the death jump in your mind.
Think about nature. Nature is great at adapting to changes. We have different seasons in our lives just like the four seasons. Nature has hibernation. We see in nature things dyening and reawakening. Yet, those seasons in our own lives can be challenging.
We may say “I don’t want to be in hibernation, I don’t want to be in the dark, I don’t want to be in lockdown, I don’t want to experience this. But the more we can see that this challenge is happening for us and not to us, the better we can view the challenge in that light. Right now, if you are going through fear around this situation, that’s using up a lot of your energy, which can be used towards something else.
Start creating a vision about new possible paths. It will allow you to be more productive. When your mind is spilled with fear, you cannot think smart.
I personally believe that there is something amazing beneath this; we just can’t see it right now. Everything is happening for our greater good. I don’t know exactly what that is yet, but I trust the case. In terms of money and financials, I personally refuse to go to the place of lack. I refuse to go to the place of what if this cripples my business. I refuse to go to the place there is not enough. Because I don’t believe in any of that, I KNOW that I am resourceful. I KNOW THAT I have a big mission on this planet. I know that I am put here for a reason. When you know without a doubt what you are meant for, and you know that anything is possible, there is abundance; there is more than enough, then even if you were to lose, you could do it again, you could do it better. When you are at a place of fear, anxiety, or worry, you will not be able to reach your highest self. It won’t allow you to be productive. Trust that this is for your best. This is the place that I am in now. Fear is not just part of the equation for me, even with everything going on. Let’s shift our mindset into a place of
