Basics 7: Staying Sane in a Crazy World

1. Look after yourself: M-E-D-S. meditation/exercise/diet/sleep.
2. Spot your 'escape addictions' such as 'binge-netflix 'and build a preface: a 15 minute walk, for example.
3. Read the classics. Nothing is new. All the answers are there.
4. Reduce input from the news cycle, toxic digital feeds and unhelpful colleagues.
5. Talk about it. But in your daily log. Daily (!). For your eyes only.
6. Get out more: hike, museums, the weekly market.
7. Manage what you can; accept what you can't.
