What we are experiencing with the current news re: global markets, sell offs, talk of recessions, and so on… reminds me a little of the lockdowns and the associated stock market sell-offs.
Of course, this is a different time and a different situation.
It is not an easy thing for us to be aware of what is going on, without being overwhelmed and, dare I say, emotionally manipulated.
I believe the antidote is long form content, and spending more time being with ourselves and with others, rather than relentlessly exposing ourselves to the ‘breaking news’ updates which are designed to reel us in and, ultimately, keep us emotionally invested.
The irony that I am sharing this as in a relatively short-form format, is not lost on me.
Be well, and stay rooted, friends.
