#111 How do you handle emergency, chaos, traumatic events? My hurricane Ian story

<p>Sept 28, 2022 is a day I will never forget!  I had no idea that Hurricane Ian would not only affect the entire coast of Florida where I have lived for 25 years, but would also hit each member of my family in ways I never could have imagined.</p> <p>Are you prepared for emergencies to come up?  </p> <p>Maybe chaotic schedules this fall felt like an emergency.</p> <p>Maybe a diagnosis or sudden illness?</p> <p> Maybe a past trauma gets reactivated in your brain when something happens and catches you "off guard".</p> <p>My tips for being prepared for an emergency... big or small.... are</p> <p>1. Know who has the final say.</p> <p>2. Prepare your family in advance... my biggest recommendation is to go camping!  Nothing prepares you for survival like camping! lol</p> <p>3. Be a duck.</p> <p>4. Know your fundamental needs/values in advance.  Ponder and let them permeate your heart on GOOD DAYS so on BAD days they are your foundation.</p> <p>5.  Pray... without ceasing.... before, during, after.... The Lord's Prayer is a great one..  Jesus taught us to pray it for a reason:)</p> <p>Want to help with Hurricane Ian relief?  This matching fund through Healing Hands, doTERRA's non profit, will serve Golisano Children's Hospital's staff so they can fully reopen and Kids Minds Matter events are top in my heart. </p> <p>Go to thewellteam.com and scroll down for the link to donate.  Thank you!</p> <p>UP TO $15,000 will be matched by Healing Hands!!  </p>
