As the world around us intensifies with constant updates on the coronavirus, financial markets, politics and other news, and as our schedules are disrupted with the unknown, let’s see if we can take a break from our phones and do at least one thing from this list.
Note: I’m not negating the importance of these circumstances nor taking any sides. I just sense the panic that is overwhelming us, and hope to provide a positive distraction so we’re not worrying 24/7. I hope this is helpful! (Let me know if you have anything to add to the list!)
