Wellness in times of civil unrest

6/22/2020

0 Comments

 
The entire country has been affected by recent events.  Shelter-in-place and mask wearing orders along with protests and civil unrest during a pandemic has us feeling anxious.  It is important that we take care of ourselves during this time and pay close attention to our physical and emotional needs.
Below are 4 steps for a foundation of healthy communication with others as well as yourself.
  1. Listen: Listen to understand rather than speak to be understood. Listen to others and also to your own emerging emotions.
  2. Acknowledge: Acknowledging what someone says or what you are experiencing is powerful.  Saying; “I hear you” is a critical component to healthy communication.
  3. Be curious: Ask questions starting with “what?” rather than “why?”.
  4. Detach or disengage: detach with kindness when necessary. If you become emotionally charged or overwhelmed be sure to honor that by taking a step back.  Excuse yourself from a conversation or take a break from news and social media.
