“I’m struggling right now…”

Last week, while I was away, this same line came up in nearly every conversation.

"I'm struggling right now..."

I get it. I have been feeling the same way over the last several months.

I have questioned everything—people, sources, facts, science, quantum physics, feelings. The list goes on.

I even started to wonder if there is a place for someone like me anymore. As a super analytical, peaceful person (even in the craziest of times), I have felt out of place.

Recently, at a local event with a few friends, I was even accused of burying my head in the sand.

“What is wrong with you, Christina? Don’t you realize what’s going on?”

Of course I do.

My eyes are wide open.

I see the anger.

I smell the fear.

I hear the uncertainty.

However, because I worked in advertising for years, I also see and hear the manipulation.

As a result, I choose not to engage.

Instead, I read great books, limit my time on social media, and spend as much time with my family as possible.

As I thought about this all last week while I was away, I realized that staying peaceful is all about vibe, voice, and vision.

Please read on!

1) VIBE!

In emotionally charged times, it’s more important than ever to create ways of staying calm. Meditation is wonderful, but it takes practice, and many people struggle with it.

Breathwork is another way (breathe in for four counts, hold for eight, release for six). I use this every morning to get centered.

But for me, sound baths are my favorite way of finding peace quickly.

As a matter of fact, I love them so much that I became a certified sound practitioner a few years ago.

2) VOICE!

A common human complaint is feeling unheard—by a spouse, kids, family members, boss, colleagues, doctor, etc.

You may have trauma around speaking up (which is quite common and especially understandable these days), but using your voice in a beneficial way can change the vibe in any room.

People are craving uplifting words. Choose your words wisely and smile!

3) VISION!

While others are fearing the collapse of society, I see a huge opportunity to create something beautiful. Maybe you want to write a book, find a new job, create a new business, move to a new area, purchase a new home, sell your current home and buy a mobile home.

If you’re not sure what you would like your life to look like, you are not alone. Most people I have spoken with have a sense of what they want, but they are lacking clarity.

Together, we can get clear on that.

I think we are all craving a more peaceful world, so for now:

Go to a sound bath. Relax. Enjoy an hour of complete peace. Raise your VIBE!

Make time every day to create better relationships. Find your unique VOICE, and share uplifting thoughts.

Take baby steps every day toward something you crave. The world needs your VISION!

Together, we can do this.
