Right now our brains are turning the hamster wheel around and around, trying to create some semblance of control and normalcy for us, so we can sail these ambiguous waters with peace of mind.

Eventually, the shelf breaks and all the books tumble down. This is a lot like our stress levels. We - or factors in our lives - keep adding to our stress until our metaphorical shelf snaps and we have a breakdown. Know your stress signs and if you’re not sure, ask someone who knows you well to help you. When you see your stress indicators popping up, take that as a sign that your shelf is sagging and it’s time for some self-care.Unless you completely sever all ties to the internet, friends, and family, you will get news updates whether you like it or not. It will leak into your life. This is our new reality and it’s on everyone’s mind. We’re talking about it constantly.
To keep your stress level down, try to carve out some space for yourself to do with as you please. If you’re a parent, let go of the guilt suitcase and let the kids watch some TV if you need to occupy some time . You have the right to feel bad! Try not to let it persist for days on end, but pushing away an emotion because gratitude granny is telling you “it could be worse” will only intensify the emotion in the long run and add to your stress level.
