COVID-19, 101, 73-80

73. COVID-19 seriously damages your mental health.

74. The virus itself does so. Soaring temperatures, headaches which ricochet and brains which cannot focus. 

75. But more than than, a COVID-19 world messes with your sanity.

76. Inadequate journalism, experts who aren’t and anxiety-inducing trivia overload.

77. Look after yourself. Find those trees. Seek horizons. Place feet on earth. Relish seashore, mountains and desert if at all possible.

78. Be greater than the toxic thought. Notice it. Thank it. And then ignore it.

79. Sort your play-list, dance and write in your personal notebook.

80. Enjoy another great day on Planet Earth, consistently voted the greatest planet in the known universe.

100 Words

When did we ‘flip’ from living with uncertainty and being ‘at one’ with the universe and being ok with it, to needing to micro-schedule everything? To controlling everything? To measuring everything? When we came down from the trees? When we decided the tribe would stay exactly where it was, stop wandering and conquer nature and build possessions? And when did we stop knowing deep in our heart, soul and gut that nobody conquers the forces of majestic planet earth; because maybe just maybe that thought step-we can control all around us-was not so good for our mental health.
