As the world gives in to fear and anxiety, I’m becoming mentally healthier
Every day, it seems we’re bombarded with negativity regarding the latest COVID-19 crisis.
As a resident of the USA, our usual approach to life is grinding to a halt. Entire sports seasons such as the NBA are suspending their seasons until further notice.

Schools, movies, concerts, and even many local events are all feeling the hammer of self-quarantine and social distancing.
