\u201cI\u2019m having a hard time sleeping at night.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cFocusing during the day feels nearly impossible.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel unsettled.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel helpless and powerless.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

These are some of the things we\u2019ve been hearing from women this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you been feeling at all similar?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With what feels like our whole world turned upside down over the last couple of weeks, we want you to know that we are right there with you. We\u2019re living in the same world as you, experiencing the same situations and circumstances that the rest of the world and country are dealing with at this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You truly are <\/span>not<\/span> alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, although we may not have much control over our situation or circumstance right now, the thing we <\/span>do <\/i><\/b>have control over is how we choose to deal with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no better time than right now to <\/b>master your mindset<\/b>!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

What does that look like?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Feel what you need to feel.<\/b> Mastering your mindset doesn\u2019t look like brushing things under the rug or pretending you don\u2019t feel the way you feel. Acknowledge where you\u2019re at and allow yourself to be there for a minute\u2026<\/span> Just don\u2019t <\/span>stay <\/span><\/i>there.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Shift. <\/b>Ask yourself \u201cWhat I do so that\u00a0 I can deal with this in an empowered way?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, maybe you\u2019re feeling like dating is out the window right now. Maybe you\u2019re using COVID-19 as a distraction to stop you from moving forward. Or maybe you\u2019re feeling depressed that you\u2019re finally ready to date, and now you can\u2019t leave your house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Did you know that, while 25% of Americans are staying inside their homes right now, <\/span>Bumble has seen a 23% increase in Seattle and New York<\/b> (two of the cities that have been hit the hardest and that are being ordered to stay inside).\u00a0 And those numbers aren\u2019t just reflecting swiping. These are people engaged in conversations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Men are saying that they have had such a hard time making the shift to online dating, because they were so afraid of not getting a response, and now it\u2019s all there is, so they are being bolder! We are hearing the most fun stories from our clients who are getting creative with dating — having Facetime dates, grocery store dates, and picnics where they are keeping the 6-foot recommended distance — and moving forward with it anyways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Life is still happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Even though we may be stuck inside and getting used to our new normal, life is still happening around us and <\/span>we can choose to create the things we\u2019ve always wanted now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The world is coming together right now. This is the most worldwide impactful event since WWII.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Yes, there is uncertainty, and, where there is uncertainty, fear will be triggered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The thing is\u2026. Humans are resilient.<\/span><\/p>\n

    There\u2019s a reason why we\u2019re still on this earth and dinosaurs aren\u2019t!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The human spirit has a natural instinct to adapt and keep moving forward, even under the hardest of circumstances. We feel a pull to keep growing and moving forward, no matter what.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    So, what are some things you can do to shift?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, earlier this week, I was having a hard time focusing, so I went outside with my beach chair, a small table, my laptop, my Bible, and my books, and felt an <\/span>immediate shift<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I\u2019ve been taking daily walks that I time precisely so that I can see the sunset.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing how such simple things can make such a difference!<\/span><\/p>\n

    And, I\u2019m immersing myself in books, videos, and audios that are focused on empowerment, prosperity, and faith!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here are some ideas we\u2019ve gotten\u00a0 from women we\u2019ve been speaking with:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
