The media has run with COVID-19 for the past 5-months, and the accumulating anxiety is too much for many. Amid a shaky world where investors are running to gold and Bitcoin, we need to keep perspective.
The threat of job loss, pandemic lockdown and the worry of unknown and malignant side effects (incredibly rare) among even the healthy are making people anxious. Anxious people make bad decisions.
Anxiety is the result of a fear of the future. We are nervous that something may happen in that future, and we may suffer.
Turn off the TV and stop listening to sensationalist news stories. The media is working overtime to try and showcase healthy people cut down by COVID-19 and vulnerable populations suffering along side them. We all have loved ones we want to protect, and the news is stirring up primal emotions to frighten us.
Make sure you eat right, exercise and keep perspective on this virus. We cannot worry about tomorrow, for today has enough to frighten us.
