31. Try to separate what you can control from what you can’t control
As human beings control is important to us and this is a time where we don’t feel that. you can in the social distance help those that are in your immediate area and those are very important things to do it helps to decrease the spread of the virus and even though it’s difficult you’re making a difference by doing that, you can also get good accurate information from trusted resources of informations.. you can also do something like start a new project or fix something or learn something new with your time or start or revisit a hobby.
The things you can’t control is what’s going on on the national level of the world and those type of things we need to let those who are dealing with that you can focus on how much of that information you’re getting maybe refrain from focusing on it too much from catastrophizing from spreading gossip and things like that sometimes that feels helpful but it usually contributes to our anxiety.
