This is your opportunity to get to know yourself.

It truly is. You need to become the company you want.

You can become that company. You can become that association for yourself.

And if you can't physically be with people, then this is the approach you have to take.

First of all, I want to get to know yourself.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to on purpose.

And I believe that the next few weeks and the next few episodes are going to be some of the most important ones that I record this year because of the current state of affairs in the whole world.

We're not just talking about one country. We're talking about so many. And I know so many of you are going through so many things. And here's what I want you to know.

I want you to know I'm praying for you. I want you to know I'm meditating for you. And I want you to know I'm here for you.

And I want to be finding you the best information, the best connection, the best advice and insight that could support and serve you at this time.

That's my only intention as to how we can work through this together. And I want you to know that you're not alone.

I want you to know that I'm with you. And I want you to know that my podcast is with you because in this time where some of us may have more time than we expected.

We may feel more stressed, more anxious. We may even feel more busy and more panic than ever before.

And I know that sounds like a luxury right now. You're like, Jay, I don't even time for that. But is the truth.

If you're not in a good place, you can't help anyone else. If you're not in a good space, that's not going to trickle over to anyone else.

Today, I wanted to dedicate this episode on how to deal with loneliness at this time and how to make the most of it.

Because I truly believe that there is an opportunity. There is always a chance to grow in any situation. But here's the thing.

You know, it's super hard being away from family right now. And I know that you're missing your loved ones. I know so many of you have, you know, you're alone because you live alone.

So many of you were traveling in now. You're stuck in the country. You're traveling in or maybe you're at college and now you can't get back home or maybe you recently separated whatever situation makes you feel alone.

And the hard cast is for you. And you may just feel alone because now you can't see your friends now yourself quarantine now you're taking that social isolation.

And I'm glad that you're doing social distancing. But I want to share with you how you can do it in a healthy way.

And the parents episode how you can do it in a way that supports you that takes care of you and that keeps allowing you to be in a good space mentally and physically. This is the most important priority to me right now.
