Anxiety

By Dr. Terry Macaluso, Head of School

The only word I’ve heard more often than COVID-19 is “anxiety.”  It’s starting to make me anxious!

Seriously, there is a great deal to be learned about the ways in which the experience of uncertainty has impacted us psychologically, socially, and emotionally.  There are more than ample offerings from thinkers—some strong and some not—professors, and experts.  Among the many pieces I’ve seen, I think this one has a simple, sane message that might be a useful reminder: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/well/mind/a-brain-hack-to-break-the-coronavirus-anxiety-cycle.html?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article

If you’re seeing articles that you think are particularly insightful, potentially helpful, or in any other way worth a read, please send the url to chadden@eastsideprep.org.  We’ll add them to the resources portion of the Daily Briefing to share your “finds.”
