These are unusual times and can cause anyone to experience emotional and mental distress. It can be mind-boggling. Beloved, find the time to decompress. With social distancing, you may believe this too is impossible. But it’s not because it's necessary. My grandson, Johnathan, even understands the importance of having some quiet time alone. Jesus did this too. Through Jesus’ life, we learn the value of solitude. He often went to a place and spent time alone with His Father in prayer. (Luke 5:16, Mark 1:35). For me, it’s going to the park, walking the trail with my flags, listening to praise and worship music while praying. Since the parts are closed in my neighborhood, I use the mini park in the back of my building. For others it could be taking a walk, reading your favorite book, or spending time with someone dear.
Your physical and psychological well-being can't handle too much anxiety without affecting you. It can take but so much until the pressures of life bring undo stress, cause you to lash out, and act in other unhealthy ways. So, it’s a good idea to separate yourself from people to enjoy moments alone. Your body, mind, and spirit need this and you do too. You’ll discover it helps you relax and soothes your mind.
