Sharing this scary experience is bringing us together in ways we’d never expect. And of course, it is healthy to talk about it! But, how refreshing would it be for us to talk about ANYTHING other than toilet paper, groceries, working from home, and closings?
Of course, it is our responsibility to pursue news from reputable sources that will keep us safe. But, there is a fine line between staying informed and content overload. Remember to give your brain (and your friends’ brains) a much needed break!
We challenge you to just try it! You may learn some new things!
