Hi Open I admit I lost it to sugar since the war began. It’s always a battle for me since I always crave it. I try to bake at home, and minimize as much as I can, but it is winning at this point. I found myself in states like panic attacks and crying simply because I was stressed, to be more precise - the body is. What helps: soothing the body, yoga, breathing, landing a bit more into the body and into the moment and experience without judging, accepting what is outside and inside, cleaning, baking, a good book, funny series about humans and their wars (I watch Peacemaker and Final Space), hugging my partner, especially during the alarms, and asking for help when I need it (another important lesson these days). Life stopped, and now something else is happening. Sincerely, I needed a breather. But it’s a peculiar one. I am looking now for balance between spontaneity and order (regime), relaxation and discipline, softness and also engaging the inner warrior consciously… All these help. And of course, the reminder of being nothing in it without disconnecting from the big discomfort - it’s a great reminder, as I was more focusing on my expression and behavior over the last months. So definitely will keep this in my awareness too. Thank you for the article and the comment, Love, Yulia
