Such an important topic, Nina! A long time ago, I turned to Eastern philosophy to try and cope with a very stressful time in my life. Like you, I learned that basically the only thing I can control is how I react, and the prism by which I view life. It’s something I’ve held onto all of these years. And while I didn’t see this (Covid-19) coming, I immediately called upon my mental strategies to calm myself.

Dan & I enjoy every day together as we learn how to navigate this new life.

Great post!

Hi Nina!
I enjoyed reading. My mom is struggling. She is alone and has so much anxiety and fear, I don’t know what to do for her. My siblings and I talk to her each day and try and comfort her. I sent her a book on CBT, as I noticed she was “catastrophizing” and highly stressed. I talked about what she is doing that is in her control, to step back when she feels this way and replace with another thought.
take care,
jess xx
