Week 142: Just do the next right thing
from Wellness Podcast Hosted by Alyssa Martoccio
In this week's episode, I talk about the things I am doing right now that I consider to be my "next right thing." This is from Frozen 2 when Anna is in a literal cold, dark cave, but just picks herself up and starts putting one foot in front of the other to just keep moving and figure out what to do. This is how the world feels to me right now but this advice works in times of sadness (losing someone we love) or just high stress situations as well. Some of the things I am doing right now is 1) checking in on my people (friends, family, even the random guy that works at the breakfast place I frequent), 2) finding ways to help- donating money to causes I care about, giving my time, supporting my faculty and students with information, conversations, etc., 3) limiting my screen and news time, only reading news that I trust 4) leaning into taking care of myself through writing, exercise., etc, 5) "being a butterfly" (they have a very short memory span)- trying to really BE wherever I am and not worrying about the future (or ruminating on the past), and 6) feeling my feelings- crying, or dancing to Don't Stop Believing, or laughing while watching a hilarious TV show, all of it. I hope this helps all, and let's just keep doing the next right thing every single day. We got this (whatever it is).
