A Thought for Today: We will figure it out

A Thought for Today

During this time, I have decided to reach out and try to help others. This is a scary and difficult time for so many. Maybe, with a little kindness, I can offer glimmers of hope, understanding, opportunity, and action. If I can do that, then it will be worth sharing my thoughts.

If you find today’s thought useful, please pass it on to someone you care about. Share your own thoughts and feelings during this crisis. Try to make the world a better place. Doing so may just make you smile, hope, and care a little bit more too.

We Will Figure It Out

It’s going to be fine – we will figure it out: I use this phrase to calm myself everyday, but especially during this time of uncertainty and fear. I need to remind myself that MACNY’s team has a lot of capability and we have overcome many challenges together before this. Together we have accomplished so much. We will also be capable of handling this crisis. I look back and remember what I have done and what I am capable of. It truly will be fine, and we will figure out how to get through this.

Lesson to Learn: Put the team’s attention on the challenges at hand. Work the problem. Remain calm and use past success and muscle memory to act with courage and integrity.

Answer for Me: When I focus on the challenge with the help of others, I achieve the best outcomes. Excessive worry is a distraction. Be Calm.

Action: Step up in confidence. Put effort into seeking solutions and caring for others.

Daily Habit: Start each day by recommitting to being calm and working the problem with those around me. Be the example of a steady commitment to solving challenges together.

Daily Walk and Talk

I have started taking daily walks to add more exercise into my life – especially during this challenging time.
