The Covid Pandemic- Our 2020 Update

-
 It's 2020, and you know what that means. It's the year of the global COVID pandemic.  Thank goodness it's December 14th so the year is almost over. That's very encouraging to us.  Right now, we still don't have a vaccine. The covid virus is air born, and 10 times more deadly than the flu. It's like a super flu.

Do you think stress is good for you, or bad for you? Does thinking about stress, stress you out? Hang with me. There's an awesome TED talk video below about stress that will totally relax and excite you. But first- what is stress? Stress is a mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.  In our fast paced world, full of changes and advancements, stress is here to stay. We need to understand the psychological stress response and how to make it our friend. Here is Kelly McGonigal on stress, one of my new favorite thinkers and speakers: After watching it, what did you think? Can you think positively about stress? I know I will from now on. I love the idea that we can help our body have a response of courage just by the way we perceive ...
