FEAR

I recently talked to a relative whose family had the virus. His whole family had high temperature but they are recovering. The reality that I could get the virus which until now was theoretical, now seems real. A few days later I started to imagine myself sick with the virus. Fear was overtaking me. I took my blood pressure and it was dangerously high. I then remembered something I was told by my doctor…Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. My job right now is to be in the moment. and right now everything is fine. I live in a place where things are being handled well regarding the spread of the virus. My neighborhood is pleasant and there lots places to walk that are safe. My immediate family is well and handling the sheltering in place. Finally I am financially secure, not rich but safe.

Let’s face it, this is no time to have a stroke based on false fear.
