Let's help each other through COVID-19



"Love to one's self and other's is built."


We are not born perfect, but 𝓦𝓮 𝓦𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓹, and that want to help is what warms my heart the most right now. Let's use this as our chance to build our altruistic love capabilities. The best of people is coming out now to help those who need it as we face COVID-19.


The news about a Finnish man collecting computers for those students who don't have one to study with as physical schools spaces close. Facebook groups in neighbourhoods of volunteers who want to help with shopping for those who are in risk groups, or ill. Even that one nude-pic-lady raising money for care. We are all helping - ᴀɴᴅ ɪsɴ'ᴛ ɪᴛ ɢᴿᴇᴀᴛ?


Let's hold on to the best of us and show how corona will bring us together instead of apart.

How we treat our fellow people in crisis is the measure of our kindness.

As COVID-19 is classified as pandemic I want to tell you few things that I do to keep my cool about it.


Remember the news show you what sells. They shows you the juiciest and clickiest bits. They aren't all interested in keeping us safe or informed, but about the monetary value of their business.


If it's meant to be that I get ill - I remind myself that 87% of people go through the illness without any serious issue. And people whose job it is to focus on keeping us safe, are doing their job well, let's listen to them.


It's important to keep others safe, there is no sense in going out sick - in Finland you can order in your groceries and medicine. Also asking friends for help with this is smart. There is no reason to gather stockpiles of food and medicine - and it means people who really need it right then might not get it when they need it.


Now my spiritual tip : Fear invites fear. We live in a world where we create our reality with our focus. If we focus solely on Corona virus, gobbling down all the gory news and fear-mongering click headlines then that is what we invite into our lives. Focusing on helping, sanity, cool headedness, brings more of it to our lives. If you've never heard of this I imagine it sounds hokey but look at this way - surrounding yourself with fear makes you uncomfortable, so don't do it.


Before you go - Let's not focus on the fear, but keep a cool head and common sense about how illness works [ aka wash hands with soap as you move from one space to another, don't touch you face and before putting anything near your mouth ]. Let's respect our fellow people and not take away needlessly what others need as well. Selfish is not pretty. Let's just do K I N D N E S S.
