I keep reading about the stress produced by the Covid virus. I am sorry for difficulties but I am afraid that too many people fail to use tools they have at hand to lower their stress level and deal with what is left. Let me mention tools and authors who can be very helpful.
Chase-Meng Tan - Author of Search Inside Yourself and Joy on Demand.
David Eagleman - Author of Incognito
Lisa Barrett Feldman - Author of 7 and a ½ Lessons About the Brain and How Emotions are Made
Larry Rosenberg - Author of Breath by Breath
#1 will help you develop the habit of meditation. Tan says you need a mind and one conscious breath.
#2 will help you appreciate how much of you isn't part of your conscious, aware mind.
#3 will help show what else goes on in your body and brain.
#4 shows how to use that ever-present breathing that you do to be more in touch with all of you, including parts that get to choose how to feel about your situation and the deal life gives you.
You can get all six books for $26 if you buy used versions from Amazon.
You are a miracle in yourself, even if you don't want to hear that. You can select how you want to feel and feel that, even if you don't believe that. I am not saying that everything will be rosy at all times. Since you have never had everything be rosy all the time, you haven't experienced that situation. It's true that you need a little counter-rosy, a little anti-rosy once in a while but when you do, you can arrange to find and experience it a bit and then get back to rosy.
