When faced with a crisis, it’s easy for our focus to narrow. We zero in on the problem, the pain, the uncertainty. Our minds try to "solve" the moment by scanning for everything that’s wrong. It’s a natural response - but not always a helpful one.
In times of challenge, one of the most powerful practices is to gently redirect your attention. Ask yourself this question:
What is still going well? What beauty is still present around me?
This isn’t about ignoring reality or bypassing your emotions. It’s about expanding your awareness. Even in the darkest moments, there are usually small anchors of light - a kind word, a warm cup of tea, the way the sunlight hits the floor.
When we consciously notice what is still right, we create space for clarity, resilience, and healing to enter. We reconnect with our intuition and allow it to guide us forward - not from fear, but from trust.
So the next time a storm rolls in, take a breath. Look around. Name one thing that is working. One thing that feels beautiful or true. That’s where your strength begins.
