During our isolation might I suggest two constructive things you can do to improve your outlook on life and which will provide a reward to both you and others in addition to un-grinding your gears.

1. Call up old friends you haven't talked to in quite awhile and tell them in the midst of this mess you just wanted to check on them and remind them they are valued. This helps to rebuild old social networks that will help you through a time in which day to day social networks may have been disrupted. It will also reconnect you with some of your roots and remind you of why you made choices that have led to your current position in life. In that regard it silences the brains focus on the negative and reconnects the dots the path of which made sense out of your life.

This will help when you can go out day to day again in that it will remind you why you are where you are.

2. Call up the people who have been very positive influences in your life and check on them and thank them. This too will remind you of your self worth as these people invested their time in you. They saw your worth.

Thanking them kills the negative emotion of regret. We all regret what we fail to tell others, especially when it is too late. It's a natural part of being human and mobile. We lose contact and while busy don't take the time to be appreciative of others.

By calling them at this time you will remind them of the worth of their lives and that they have given meaning and purpose to others. That's a fantastic boost to anyone. And in the process you will not only remember that you too are valuable, but you will be clearing your mind of the clutter of regret, both past and present and potentially future.

Free your mind to be positive and the negative will fade away. It's a much less crude way to say, "Free your mind and your ass will follow."

Peace and blessings only await expression!
