In the episode we talk about 10 ways we can find joy amidst the chaos in the world of the coronavirus. It can feel scary and give us a lot of anxiety, but it doesn’t have to feel that way.
The ten tips are:
- Look for the good - it is happening all around you
- Control the information you receive - control your media
- Use the power of technology for connection
- Give your kids (and yourself) the right tools - talk about what is and isn’t
- Surround yourself with things you love - (hide the good chocolate in a closet)
- Keep as organized as possible
- Make “me time” non-negotiable. I really mean this one!!!
- Take advantage of the opportunity to get things done
- Try to get outdoors daily
- Do some fun activities
