As this episode goes live, most of the world is still in the throes of COVID19. I’ve noticed emotions getting a little frayed lately with some of the people I’ve been in contact with. I had a couple of meltdowns myself that weren’t pretty. But, they were productive. Productive because I realized I needed to manage my stress even more and I needed to manage the external input that was coming into my world.

I’d been limiting my news intake substantially and with who I was interacting, definitely keeping a distance from my less positive friends. But, what I hadn’t realized was how much I was limiting my interactions with others, across the board. That’s not good for us. We’re social animals and the dogs and cats just don’t carry the conversation well.

This week I’m sharing some of my new favorite ways to manage stress and stressful emotions. Remember, when we do good, we feel good.
