Listen and lean in to your emotions
Paul Schoenfeld, PhD: Accept, don't ignore, your feelings.
Are you watching too much Netflix and baking too much sourdough bread? If so, you aren't alone. When the pandemic forced us indoors, we became bored, tense, frustrated and even angry. But that's OK.
Paul Schoenfeld, PhD, says that rather than ignoring these feelings, we should lean in to them. Don't turn to short-term fixes, such as drinking. Instead, listen to your emotions and accept them. And soon, much like the weather in Washington, your mood may improve.
