Are you distraught about the genocide in Gaza?
As the death toll rises, you feel like you can't take seeing anymore dead bodies
You wonder how will I ever carry on?
You wonder how you'll manage to look at the faces of everyone who stayed silent
This is where an empathy plan is needed
When our body gets trapped into survival mode, our regular functions shut down
That's why you
👉🏽Can't sleep because you keep seeing the images over & over again
👉🏽Haven't eaten properly or don't want to
👉🏽Feel hopeless & just want to throw your phone away
👉🏽Feel apathetic towards life
👉🏽Often wonder if life is worth living after all the horrors you've seen in 31 days
An empathy plan helps regulate your nervous system so you can continue demanding a ceasefire & contacting your government
Without feeling overwhelmed & burnt out
Otherwise you'll be in a continual state of shock, reacting to everything rather than responding to what Palestinians need
Here's my empathy plan
As soon as I see horrific images I tap on the places on my body that are constricted & say out loud the negative things I'm feeling. It's so important you do this otherwise your body will store the image as an emotion, which will further dysregulate your nervous system, spiraling you out of control
When you see horrific images, say out loud "that's not me". It's important you disassociate with the images/videos you're seeing because your subconscious will believe that is you. We don't want that. You can raise your hand as you say this, to interrupt the thought process
As soon as you've watched images, comment, like, share for the algorithm & then close your eyes and imagine Palestine is free.
You can listen to this audio HERE to visualize it
I've been doing the above during the night when my kids are asleep
I usually spend 5-6 hours watching, posting, sharing
When I go to sleep I listen to my Escape the Matrix (link) so that my subconscious, deletes the images from my mind
Your subconscious is activate during your sleep & makes meanings out of everything you've seen online about Palestine
It's important you rewire your subconscious while speaking up for Palestine so you don't feel like your efforts don't matter
They do
They're making an impact
I want you to believe that
🛑Keep demanding a ceasefire. Share it on your socials, repost all content coming from Palestine. We need to keep the algorithm going with news from Palestine
🛑Keep calling your governments. If you're in the USA you can download the 5 calls app: Contact your Congress. You can make 5 calls in 5 mins
Or go to www.house.gov and type in your postcode to find your senate
If you're in the UK contact your local councillor. They need your vote to stay running in your local community
Pressuring your local Councillor will get them to speak up for you
The more pressure you put on your local council the better
You can email your local MP using this link provided by Islamic Relief
