A lot seemed to happen this week... Dr. Charles Barr and I had recorded a series on relaxation that we were going to publish this week, but the world seemed to turn a bit upside down over the past few days, so we're pushing it to next week, so that we could talk about the current pandemic. I asked Kyle to come back on to talk about this topic with Dr. Barr because he's had to deal with the impact of it in his own work life. Among the key topics suggested in this episode are: Having a plan in place and trusting in it Limiting media (and social media) news exposure Possibility vs Probability thinking Avoiding imagined realities And how to discuss coronavirus with your children WITHOUT causing a panic Don't worry, we will be back early next week to begin that two part series on relaxation and how to get the maximum benefit out of it!
