Missy Peregrym Instagram – I agree with this 💯 More than ever we need to be hopeful and share the damn toilet paper. ❤️❤️❤️ #Repost @brenebrown ・・・ Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think – especially when we’re afraid. ⁣ ⁣ Fear and anxiety can drive us to become very self-focused. This global pandemic is a real case of “getting sick together” or “staying well together.” ⁣ ⁣ Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as “individual risk” or “individual wellness.” ⁣ ⁣ This is the ultimate reminder that we are inextricably connected to each other. Turning away from collective action right now – as tempting as it is – will only generate more pain. ⁣ ⁣ Owning and embracing our global interconnectedness (from a safe distance) and thinking about others as we make choices is, ironically, our only path to safety for ourselves and the people we love. ⁣ ⁣ We can all get really shitty really fast when we’re afraid. I get it. I’m using deep breaths along with my personal mantra: ” Try to be scared without being scary.” Feel free to borrow both – they can help.⁣ ⁣ It’s also really normal for everyone to be on our nerves: The people who aren’t following the rules, the 10-second hand washers, etc. I get that too. TRUST ME. ⁣ ⁣ But, like it or not, we just can’t give up on people. We’re all we have.⁣ ⁣ Stay awkward, brave, and kind. Love each other. Spread calm.⁣ ⁣ xo,⁣ BB⁣
