32 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE MAY 2020 WELLNESS positive and find a way back to what makes you happy. Display Uplifting Messages. Fill your home and workspace with positive messages and gratitude to keep an optimistic atmosphere. You might post a colorful banner on your door that reads “Stay Positive” or find uplifting poems to situate around your house. Keep the negative news to a limit and, instead, look for touching stories of people helping others in their community. The Dalai Lama once said, “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” I believe this principle applies both to being kind to others, but also in times of massive change like the pandemic, as it’s just as important to be kind to yourself. Truer words were never spoken, as the world around us has radically changed and is more complex than ever before. We face a new norm, but we can flourish by holding in our inner circle some of the principles discussed to help steer us forward in these challenging times. What we resist will persist and it’s better to choose to move on to acceptance. You are the navigator of your life’s path. If you focus on improving what’s inside, rather than worrying about what’s happening outside, you’re bound to land on more stable ground. What you water grows, and what you focus on does as well.
