COVID-19 DAILY ADVICE - Unplug

If I watch one more news show, another movie, or play one more online game -- I might just go crazy!  Do you feel that way? I surely do. In fact, I’ve cut way down on the time I spend on social media. It was rewarding to see my iPhone report that last week my time was down by 30%.  Too much “bad” news can dampen our spirits and make it very difficult to focus on the blessings and gifts that are right in front of us. Protect yourself, Unplug! 

I don’t mean for you to unplug from people who matter, from people who build you up, from those who encourage you. I do mean from negativity and pessimism. In my early advice, I encouraged you to make personal phone calls to long lost friends and family. I also encouraged you to write letters. I want you to hold your “people” and family close. Call them, connect with them on social media – but beware – in life there are some folks who are fountains and then there are drains.  Watch out – minimize yourself from anyone or anything that “drains you dry!”  We are, after all, energy people – and we must regularly plug into our sources of energy and unplug ourselves from people and things that drain us dry! Take care my friend!
