Crazy Catastrophe. There is this thing sweeping the world and evidently, we’ve lost your minds. I’m talking about The Corona virus and everybody is losing their minds the point of nausea. Sometimes it becomes difficult to sort out the true information.

The information that’s needed to make good choices. The run-on goods in stores for products, like toilet paper, or other items. It seemed to be irrational and rational at the same time have become commonplace.

Police and Product

In some stores, the police are assisting to keep order to keep people from fighting over that toilet paper or a bottle of water.

When we experience stress, we know that our heart rate increases, our pupils dilate, we get forms of tunnel vision and auditory exclusion. That’s how the body is built.

Upon observation, we would deem these people who are experiencing this as crazy. People that they’ve lost their minds, but the fact is that they haven’t. Nor have you. Stress creates this survival response. You get it, you know how this links together. It has served humans well both broadly and deeply since before recorded time.

Step Back and Observe

We need to just step back observe what can be done and what cannot be done and act accordingly. Firefighters, police officers, snipers, pilots they all train to be cool under pressure. The differences are these people have a specific environment in which to operate. A specific experience to exercise their cool.

But you don’t get that yours is an environment that is well again broad indeed it’s the everyday world. Can you create and sustain catastrophe cool? Is it possible for you to move through the day with cool observation? Can you recognize when you are beginning to dive into the stress? Dive into irritability, and impulse that’s created in the shadow of stress? Can you see others that are trying to infect you?

Humans Infect Each Other

Think about that for a moment, humans infect each other emotionally. The question is, “Can you observe the moments that we’re in right now, and can you observe what’s in front of us?” “Can you choose to see the emotions that are associated with these times and trials and yet not be subject to them?” Can you not let others infect you with the stress with the hyperbole with the crazy? is crazy catastrophe possible
