The losses from Covid 19 keep stacking up – loss of friends & family, loss of income, loss of things we don’t know and probably can’t even imagine. There’s so much we can’t control. It’s a recipe for depression. How can we avoid it?
Though I didn’t take many courses on Buddhism during my time at Harvard, we can count on Buddhists to teach us about attachments and illusion. We find ourselves attached to many things in this 3 dimensional world, but all of them are illusion. A sobering fact, but there is a workaround.
The practice of gratitude has proven more effective at treating depression than pharmaceuticals.
Do you strive for “grace under pressure”? A gratitude practice will deliver the goods.
