Pam’s Spiritual Tips for Managing Isolation:

During these uncertain times, I’m ramping up my practices. I am practicing the breath prayer, walking more, reading, listening to peaceful music, and praying a lot. All of these things give me comfort and help keep me calm.

1.     Create a sacred space in your home.

2.     Change your language; “I get to” vs. “I have to”

3.     Practicing self-care. Put yourself first

4.     Where are my feet? (a presence practice)

5.     Regular acts of compassion - studies show that by helping others benefits our own well-being.

6.     Breath Prayer - Repeat a meaningful phrase: “I am the beloved child of God.” Over time the words move from my head to living in my heart.

7.     Lectio Divina - a way to pray with reading.

8.     Letting Go Prayer -“hands up” - gather burdens you are holding, “hands down,” release and let go.

9.     Get Outside - nature is in complete contrast with the news.

10. Be on the lookout for moments of GRACE—then write it down.
