#1 Don't watch tv. It's depressing.
#2 Listen to music or meditate.
#3 Improve your mind by watching self help videos on YT such as cooking, car repair and any other interest you might have.
#4 Light reading such as . . I can't remember the name of it but it was something like The MonkeyWrench Gang. I don't remember much about it but a long time ago it seemed humorous.

That is the correct answer. The people in my life who get all frantic and upset about the covid stuff are those who watch too much tv. I repeatedly tell them to watch entertainment and limit the news. I personally don't have cable, satellite or even streaming. Most of it is crap. Crap sells, and fear pron is crap.

The darkest part of a tunnel is in the middle. I see some brightening ahead. A huge chunk of the country got up and traveled around for Thanksgiving and Christmas. By car, on foot, by plane and even on cruises (because cooking and cleaning is beneath some people). If the whole country was bats**t crazy over covid, they wouldn't have done that. The politicians know this, which is why Biden is in his bunker and the CDC is backing down on their rules. The boosters are not moving. I read that in Boston they have opened centers and still have thousands of open appointments. Folks are waking up.
