I will share my personal experience and this might help someone else.

This is how I am coping with Fear:

1. Reaching out to others– I check on the people I know and those not known to me too. I do this by either calling them, posting positive messages like this one you are reading, or picking a few families that are less fortunate for a small uplifting & support. This has been an amazing way of life.

2. Staying connected– I spend my Mondays on inspiring the teams, Thursdays on training them on Zoom, prayers on Friday and Wednesday, and Zoom bible study on Thursday. Once a week, I plug into the Kenya Private Sector Alliance ( KEPSA) discussions. These help me stay connected.

3. Be creative – thinking of something that you can do differently. There has never been a time like this that ideas flow like a river. These ideas will and are changing Optiven Group in a big way going forward. This is the time to test those ideas. Don’t forget to note them down.

4. Up-plug. I do unplug by turning off the negative energy. Stay away from WhatsApp groups that only post scary videos, massages, or news channels that only talk of bad news. I love listening to Hope FM for spiritual nourishment. Choose what inspires you.
