    Episode 6: Strange Times The Corona Crisis

    This episode is a little different from the rest. Instead of an interview, this is just me trying to work out my thoughts on the corona pandemic and offering what advice I can in these strange times: Focus on what you can control Try not to compare yourself with others and how they are coping People have different ways of coping You don’t have to be positive all the time Focus on the majority of people who are working to save lives, helping their neighbours, following the rules There are going to be good days and bad days and meh days What you’re doing is good enough youcantakethegirloutofbradford.com/2020/04…-april/
