STOP
Stop reading the news every 5 minutes.
Stop counting how many people are infected or dead.
Stop trying to be hyperproductive.
Stop being resistant to what is going on.
Stop praying that everything goes back to the way it was.
Stop buying toilet paper… might be a bit late for that request though 😉
START
Start turning off the internet and read a book.
Start having candlelight dinners, even if you are dining alone.
Start something new. Excercise, sign up for a new class, learn something new.
Start showing up with your gifts. Whatever you know how to do, do more of that.
Start creating the new tomorrow.
COVID-19 will enable us to REDESIGN the way we work and the way we live.
Here is one way my son’s school is redesigning the way they gather and learn together:

Today I put on a jacket and I laid down on the grass outside. It is still chilly, here in Massachusetts, but the sun was out and I just needed to feel the warmth on my face. To feel safe. To feel whole.
The noise has stopped on the outside but it continues inside of me and I’m finding it difficult to slow down.
I know these are times of growth and times to connect. These are profound times of change.
You welcome me into your inbox every Friday. Some of you have been welcoming me for years.
Today I want to send you a hug, the warmth of the sun if you can find some from a nearby window. I want to send you the song of the birds with less traffic outside and the sound of your children driving you crazy in the background.
Today I am coming to you to extend a hand. in a place of comfort and peace. You and I are in this together as a family and as families do, we stick together. We will travel on this journey, and this situation together. We will support each other.
Today, I’ve been thinking about you. About your work, your business and your responsibilities.
I want to let you know, NAME, that I’m thinking of you and that we are here for you.
Together with my team, we are brainstorming creative ways that we can support you. To begin with, we’ve put together a list of 10 things you need to do to Run your Business Virtually. You can get that here.
In addition, we have put together a full set of resources and videos that will help take your business virtual within the next 24 hours (or less).
I’m making this program available to you on a PAY WHAT YOU CAN basis. scale. This is my way to encourage you to continue with your work from wherever you are.
Remember, this will pass. We have an opportunity to reassess who we are, how we live and how we run our businesses.
Stay strong, keep your team and family safe and serve your clients at your highest level.

Is your world upside down right now? Mine is:
So here are 3 Strategies to lean into the opportunity that this crisis brings to your business:
CREATIVITY: This is a time of disruption, across the board. EVERYTHING is being disrupted as is your company. So make a list of all the ways you are delivering your products/ services and running your business (as detailed as possible) and ask yourself how can I do this while this crisis is going on? Listen to the examples in the video.
COMMUNICATE: People are looking up to you. You are a leader in your community, however big or small it is. Then show up and share how you are navigating this crisis. How are you handling the challenges you are facing? How are you going to continue to support your market? Speak up, your people are watching.
COMMUNITY: Now more than ever we need a community around us. We need support. How can you create a sense of community with your clients and followers? Listen to some of the examples in the video.
Fear will not take us anywhere. We need to be proactive, kind to each other and stay safe. Take care of your team, they are who got you to where you are. Stay strong with them, they are afraid as well and they look up to you for guidance.
Be there for your clients, offer extra support, extra guidance. Remember we are not strangers to each other, we are in community with each other. Let’s support one another.
I’m offering an opportunity to come and brainstorm with me. If you are interested simply email us at team@mastersinclarity.com/newsite and we will send you details. We will be offering virtual LET’S THINK TOGETHER SESSIONS in the coming week.

We had the honor of interviewing Heather Vickery, the author of Gratitude Journal: Shift Your Focus and Grow Grateful: A Gratitude Journal for Kids and Families, and the host and executive producer of The Brave Files Podcast. Heather inspires audiences and empowers attendees with the tools they need to live bold and successful lives through creating balance, time management, as well as countless systems, strategies, and boundaries.
In our conversation, Heather and I talked about how to not live a life based on fear. Thinking outside of the rabbit hole that many of us feel on a daily basis. Getting out of that fear and learning to be intentionally brave.
Heather opens up about fear. How it’s not just an emotion. Fear is important and tells us something valuable that allows us to reflect and propel forward.
How can you learn to leverage into Intentional Bravery?
- Evaluate your Fear
- Practice gratitude to help alleviate the feelings behind your Fear
- Showing up is 80% of success – Just Be There!
- Identify your fears and place them into bite size pieces with an intentional plan
Remember that being brave doesn’t always mean something huge. Getting through the day, through your week, handling all those tasks that are thrown at you daily – that’s bravery.
Final Thoughts from Heather Vickery:
“Every day there should be something that scares you a little.”
