Ep 9: Four Ways to Stay Calmer and Happier while Staying Home (Pandemic Edition)

     Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected and fearful is to be expected and completely normal during this time of COVID-19. We are getting messages from every direction about what to do during this health crisis and I do hope you are all healthy and staying safe. Many of our reactions are completely normal and I wanted to reach out and connect with you through all of the chaos to remind you to care for yourself compassionately.
     In this episode, my producer and I talk about the unique challenges surrounding this new stay-at-home life. Most everything has changed and we are all grieving during this time, but it is important to remember that we are resilient, creative and resourceful. It is a key time to focus on the 6 foundations of psychological health and wellness to strengthen our mind and body. And to stay sane while staying at home, I talk about four ways to manage anxiety to be calmer and happier for yourself and others.
