Background

In a season of take,  it is easy to be overwhelmed.

Cope

Notes

Here are some resources that can help one cope.

1. Holiness
   • Your holiness is important
   • You have given and are giving so much already
   • Please do not part with your holiness
2. Naturally Produced
   • Look for things your body can naturally produce
   • Unfortunately, a lot of gyms are closed
   • So please take to the outdoors
     • Neighborhood
       • Put on your face mask
       • Take a nice walk of at least 15 to 20 minutes
       • The longer the better
     • Community Parks
       • Community parks are even better
       • The scenery is modeled for supple take in
3. Solitude
   • Look for places and time of solitude
     • Squeeze in private time to shut yourself in
     • Look for things to submerge yourself in
       • Look for things that you can escape in
4. Look for people you share commonality
   • For me, it is programmers and bloggers foremost
     • As I research an item and find blog posts, I make quick mental notes
       • Is it fresh material?
       • Is it an existing material rendered in an easier way to digest?
       • Does the author really want me to get it
         • And, just really giving it away that I can easily comprehend it
5. Hear and Listen Well
   • Hear and listen to the right people
   • For me here are the people I enjoy listening to
     • Christain
       • Ravi Zacharias
       • Damon Thompson
     • Islam
       • Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
       • Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad
       • Nouman Ali Khan
   • Reading
     • Khaled Hosseini
6. Music & Musicians
   • Music is therapeutic
   • It can bring one up out of slumber
   • Usually rendered in short, 3 minutes span
7. Wish Well
   • Look for people you can wish well
   • I look for people I can send social media friend request or just a message
     • These are people doing well already
     • And, I just want to thank them for something nice they posted online
     • I am glad they posted something and kept it out there
8. Live and Model Well
   • As you draw near to God
   • He starts to change you from the inside out
   • Look and Identify people that can benefit in the same way
   • You are still lacking and so others that are being similarly tempted will be drawn to you
   • Your closeness to God will thus not only benefit you, but also people who are within the same context and proximity to God, the divine healer
