Find Your Happy Place

Are you finding yourself glued to the TV during this pandemic?  How does it make you feel?  If your anxiety levels are going off the charts, maybe you might want to rethink how the news is taking away your happiness.  I realize I'm not immune to the virus that seems to be moving like a freight train, dumping its cargo in even the most remote of communities but I can protect myself from the sensationalism that prevails on the airwaves.  My happy place isn't on any of the news channels.

Your happy place may look different from mine.  No matter what it looks like or where it is, the important thing is that you visit your happy place daily.  Think of it as being on an airplane and suddenly the air pressure drops.  What do the flight attendants ask?  Isn't the first step to make sure you have your mask on before helping your children?  You aren't any good for others if you can't breathe.  Go to your happy place and breathe deeply.  Cleanse yourself of anxiety.  You have everything you need to get to your happy place.  It starts with turning off the TV.  Have a great day.
