Focus on what is most important in your life, not the daily news! →

Focus on what is important and what matters. Sometimes the daily news is just consuming. Too hot to handle. A diversion and a distraction.

Consuming the news can activate the sympathetic nervous system, which causes your body to release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Then, when a crisis is happening, and we are experiencing this stress response more frequently.

According to the Centers for Disease Control,(CDC), the COVID-19 outbreak is proving to be stressful for most people. During an infectious disease outbreak, the CDC says stress can include changes in sleep or eating patterns, worsening of mental health conditions, fear and worry about your health and the health of loved ones, and difficulty concentrating.

Don't get burnt up or burned out. Go to work on what is important in your own life.

Your self-image is a mental picture of yourself, both as a physical body and an individual. When you think about yourself, the feelings and images that come up are important. A healthy body image means that you see yourself as you really are and that you feel good in your own skin.

In the case of the young lion cub perhaps he sees his own potential.
