“We are survivors and we are the descendants of people who chose to survive!” – by Karsonya Wise Whitehead.

This was just the reminder that I needed to hold my head up high and to focus on my goals for this week. There’s so much going on right now, but I know it’s just a waiting game to get to the other side. In fact, we are a people who have evolved from struggle and have adapted to soar high above the institutions that continually push us down. We don’t just survive, we thrive.

During this time, there’s a list of things that I “could” be doing, but my thriving is rooted in nurturing the relationships in my life. I’m focusing on rest and reconnections. Resting my physical body so that it can stay healthy. Reconnecting to my spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical body so that I can realign and refocus…reset my intentions for the rest of this year.

What are your coping strategies?
