S2E9 10 Ways to Find Joy Amidst the Chaos

In the episode we talk about 10 ways we can find joy amidst the chaos in the world of the coronavirus. It can feel scary and give us a lot of anxiety, but it doesn’t have to feel that way.

The ten tips are:

1. Look for the good - it is happening all around you
   
2. Control the information you receive - control your media
   
3. Use the power of technology for connection
   
4. Give your kids (and yourself) the right tools - talk about what is and isn’t
   
5. Surround yourself with things you love - (hide the good chocolate in a closet)
   
6. Keep as organized as possible
   
7. Make “me time” non-negotiable. I really mean this one!!!
   
8. Take advantage of the opportunity to get things done
   
9. Try to get outdoors daily
   
10. Do some fun activities
