I could feel fear starting to wrap its tentacles around my thoughts. What to do? Wash my hands a lot? Stock up on supplies? Stay home?
It’s important to keep up with the current news, because we don’t want to be blindsided. But compulsively checking our devices every other minute can’t be helpful when it instills fear or panic.
We have to decide which path we want to take when it comes to the information we’re letting in.
