I know. I know. The world is changing so quickly. We think we’ll be ‘left behind’ if we walk away from the fast and furious news cycle for even a minute.
But we do NEED breaks from it. This is important for our mental and emotional health.
And there isn’t much the average person can do to immediately change the situation anyway. Hearing the news now or in two hours won’t make a huge difference to most of our lives.
So turn your phone or computer (or brain – grins) off and trek (or wheel if you are in a wheelchair) about the block (or merely sit on the front steps).
Look at the flowers. Say hi to people (and squirrels) you encounter. Listen to the birds as they narrate your progress. (laughs) Breathe deeply and lower your shoulders.
You deserve this break! You NEEED it. Take it!
