10 Ways to Remain Steady in an Unsteady World
About five years ago, we were finding our way through the uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief of the Covid-19 Pandemic and The Black Lives Matter Movement with protests, riots, and social unrest. Fast forward five years from Spring 2020 to today, I am hearing from many clients and connections that they are once again feeling heightened levels of uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief due to the political and social climate in the United States. During unwelcome and trying times, how do you remain steady in the face of adversity and hardship?
Bibliotherapy: The Chemistry of Calm by Henry Emmons, M.D.
“The Chemistry of Calm is intended as a guide to reclaiming your resilience, to moving from a state of stress, anxiety or fear to a place of calm, balance, and equanimity.” Dr. Emmons covers in his book his resiliency approach to health and calm. He’s an integrative psychiatrist that practices out of Minnesota.
As one of its core values, Coriander Living Collective believes in expansion and personal growth. Bibliotherapy is a great way to do that and so we share what we’re reading to support your healing journey. Enjoy!

The uncertainty and loss of control continue as we do not know what is ahead?
Times have been tough. We all need each other more than ever. Our children are counting on us, watching us, learning how to navigate hard times. Here are 9 things to practice during this extended stressful time.
