Finding Peace When Everything Seems to Be Falling Apart

It kinda feels like we’ve been living in a
pandemic state of mind for decades now, when the reality is
it’s only been about three years. The world around us seems to be
crumbling both on the inside and the outside and some days it
feels like it’s impossible to pull yourself out of that sunken
place. All of your wants and desires suddenly feel meaningless
and not worth pursuing and all you want to know is when it gets
better, right?


The truth is it never gets better. Life is constantly happening —
yeah it eases up a little bit here and there, but it never gets
better. But you know what does? YOU do, sis. and The way you
respond to it gets better. The way you maintain your peace in the
midst of it all gets better and that’s what we’re talking about
this week — how you can be good when life is no. 


Tap in to get some insight on how you can find peace when
everything seems to be falling apart.

Cultivate a daily practice of nurturing yourself with Nurture
Yourself Bingo
Nurturing yourself does not have to be difficult, but it does
need to be consistent, so why not make it fun. Nurture
Yourself Bingo is divided into five categories – one
category per card. Each category has twenty-four activities to
support you in a daily practice of nurturing yourself. All you
need to do to get started is print the cards, laminate them,
and start nurturing yourself.


Do one activity daily, marking a X in the squares as you go
until you get bingo. Once you get bingo, do something to
celebrate yourself. If you get bingo on more than one card at
the same time, up the celebration. Alternatively, you can work
on one card at a time and/or do more than one activity a day.
It’s your practice, do what feels right for you. Whatever you
decide, we’ve got FIVE CATEGORIES & 124
WAYS for you to do it.
