Mindfulness in the Midst of a PandemicAs a therapist, people tend to look to me for answers. We ask the questions to gain understanding and help guide and walk with people on their journeys. In the midst of a pandemic, how does that work though? That is a question I have been asking myself over the past couple of weeks in the midst of the chaos. The truth? I am sitting with you and beside you in the chaos with little to no insight or knowledge on the COVID-19 pandemic. What does this mean as a client who is coming to outpatient therapy seeking answers to unknown circumstances? It means that all of us, as therapists at CARE Counseling, are doing our best to be supportive of the struggles that are being faced as we face them ourselves. I have found that the advice I can give is the advice I am trying to take for myself and learn from. Here are the three questions I am challenging myself with, encouraging my clients to explore, and would give to anyone I love to challenge themselves with.
So what am I grateful for? I’m grateful for my health. I’m grateful that I have clients who I care about deeply, who have kept appointments to show they support and care for me. I am grateful for my family and friends. And sometimes, in the midst of the confusion, doubt, and difficulties, I am grateful I made it out of bed and started the day. Gratefulness is not always a grand gesture or act that we have experienced – sometimes it is the moment of quiet in the day. What would happen if we all took just five minutes to reflect on these three questions in the midst of this pandemic? Let’s find out together.
