As my mom always says, “What goes in, comes out”. I’m not advocating for you to disconnect, but what I am saying is find the positives in life, relationships, and business. It will “infect” – or better yet, affect – new positive ideas to come out of all of this stronger than ever before.
And so to this, we (and when I say “we,” I hope it includes everyone reading this post) should come together, lock arms virtually, and work to #dontstopthepresses. This campaign is meant to spread a positive message in the garment decorating community to strengthen and bring our community together.
HOW?
- If you have a great business idea that is working in this climate, please share it and #dontstopthepresses
- If you want to give a shout out to someone who helped you, shout it and #dontstopthepresses
- If you need help, reach out to us and #dontstopthepresses
- If you have a want to send positive vibes out to the world, send them and #dontstopthepresses
Don’t shut yourself off. Put in 3x more positive than negative vibes (news, media, social posts) each day. Really, it’s science. Just recently, scientists have proven that persistent negative thoughts and emotions impact the body in drastic ways. Negative beliefs make people prone to disease.
HOW TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE
Last week, we had a live Podcast with Callie and Bekenson Pierre, who I met in Haiti on my very first Allmade trip and have been friends and colleagues ever since. Callie recently wrote this blog and Facebook Post for www.lapointefoundation.org that talked about her experience going through several similar situations for the past 10 years in Haiti. It's an extremely helpful perspective for what is happening today. Our conversation focused on what she learned to both survive and thrive through this trying situation.
Missed the webinar? No worries, you can watch and see our conversation! Watch the video here.
As Thomas Fuller first wisely pointed out, “The darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Together, we can reach our collective dawn sooner. Put in the positive, share the positive, and #dontstopthepresses. ✌️
