048 - Stay Positive Through this Pandemic with these Three (Strange) Philosophies
Episode description
In this episode, we share three strange teachings that are helping us stay positive and take action during COVID-19.
We realize that there are a lot of people out there experiencing some kind of suffering, loss, or pain during this pandemic. It may be financial, physical, or even mental.
As a way of supporting and loving this community, we want to take a moment to share with you three important philosophies that have really helped shape our thoughts and responses to what’s happening around us. Although we know we are speaking from a place of multiple types of privilege, these teachings have helped our minds stay positive and be optimistic. These counter-intuitive mental frameworks have helped us cope and continue to work toward our goals.
And although some of these teachings are, let’s say, strange, our hope is that you’ll find at least one of them helpful. No matter what you’re going through right now, whether it’s a financial loss, the feeling of failure, or a sense of loneliness, we hope this episode will help you in some small way.
Here’s What You’ll Learn in the Episode:
- Why we’re going on the offensive during COVID-19 (and some of the ways we’re doing so)
- How these frameworks have affected the way we’re showing up with friends, family, and this community.
- The three philosophies or teachings that have impacted the way we see the world (and are especially important as we consider the effects of COVID-19 on our business and our personal lives)
- For each teaching, we also share resources and books where you can learn more about them
- Why some of these teachings might be “triggering” or difficult to hear for some people
