Almost 2 months into ECQ because of Covid-19 and we continue to find ways on how to cope. Let me share 2 significant things that will help you get through this crisis easier.
Center yourself.
When people say that they are centered, this means they are in tune with themselves. They are aligned. They feel alive.
Why should you aim to be centered? Simply because you want to be happy. Thus, when it’s chaotic out there, go inwards. Find balance. And then, you will change the way you see the world.
Here are some tips from me and my partner, David Abrenilla, on how you can center yourself:
1. Connect with nature.
2. Meditate.
3. Do a physical activity.
4. Have a me-time without any gadget.
5. Think “Life is happening for me and not to me.”

Now if you are in a relationship, and whether you are physically together now during ECQ or not, this second tip will be of help.
If you are still single, and you want to find your OTL soon, read it anyway because this will come handy in the future!
Grow with your partner
How? Set, share, and align your values and expectations.
Then, commit and protect those values including the negotiables and non-negotiables.
Here are some tips from me and my partner, David Abrenilla, on how you can grow with your significant other:
1. Know your love language and use it to communicate
2. Create a couple’s vision board
3. Communicate without judging
4. Do a dialogue.
Now let me stress on #4.
Dialogue means you know that it’s time to listen, talk, and come up with a resolution about the issue. This is where you share your feelings.
You tell your partner how his/her certain action made you feel and tell him/her a suggestion on how things can get better next time.
It’s the complete opposite of the blame game.
It is truly a life-changer.
David and I learned about the proper way to do a Dialogue when we attended the Discovery Weekend last year.

We may be far from really flattening the curve here in the Philippines, but you know what? Just like what Wayne Dyer said, “I am realistic. I expect miracles.”
P.S. As we transition into the new normal, it is high time to prepare ourselves by looking at our new vision- bigger dreams, new opportunities, a more resilient self! E-mail me at trixie@trixieesguerra.com for my upcoming Vision Board Online Workshop by the end of May!
