While I was sitting in the Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas yesterday (which was March 11th), I remembered what happened four years ago.
As you may recall, our lives were disrupted and changed forever on March 11, 2020. That’s when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The pandemic and its impact on our spirit, heart, mind, body, and life continues.
I also began thinking about the how I have struggled during the past four years to cope with death, loss, and grief.
How have you struggled during the past four years to cope with death, loss, and grief?
What have you done to take care of yourself?
Redefining and deepening my self-care practices have helped me cope with and embrace Thriving Mindfully with death, loss, and grief.
Over the past four years, I have developed a self-care practice of tapping into the ancestral medicine of my loving + wise + well ancestors.
I learned ancestral medicine is my birthright. It’s yours too!
Getting help and support from my therapist, ancestral healing coach, life coach, and business coach over the past four years helped me lay a foundation for defining and accessing my ancestral medicine.
I define ancestral medicine as the love, protection, and wisdom I receive from my loving + wise + well ancestors.
This year, I decided to create a series of Thriving Mindfully Podcast episodes that share how I am using self-care practices like ancestral medicine and creativity to cope with and embrace Thriving Mindfully with death loss, and grief.
If you are struggling with death, loss, and grief AND/OR interested in learning how I am using self-care to embrace Thriving Mindfully with death, loss, and grief, listen to the Thriving Mindfully Podcast episodes below.
