Oh yes Andy Griffith is great for escaping.
I finally figured out after your post why I’m not feeling relaxed or that I get enough down time. If I’m not reading politics stuff then I’m reading my kindle, and right now I’m reading a book about what life was like for an average German family in the Hitler era. When I do my warm compresses on my eyes, I listen to my library app and right now I’m listening to a book about the Hitler Youth.
I think I need to find a book that is just relaxing and Escapish. The books I am reading are too close to real life.
Anne of Green Gables.
Or Fifty Shades of Gray, depending on mood. 😉
Yes, watch something totally fiction. If I have trouble sleeping at night, I’ve even been watching animal videos. Turn on some music to listen to.
I still keep up with news, but when I start feeling too stressed, I just get away mentally. If it wasn’t so hot I’d take a walk.
