It’s okay to do nothing

I am cleaning the drawers in my desk. The task makes me feel productive—which makes me feel better.

I have to remind myself that it’s also okay to do nothing. My husband, Jerry, read an article in The New York Times by a psychologist or psychiatrist who emphasized that message: All of us are feeling stressed because of this crazy virus crisis. And, it’s okay to do nothing sometimes.

Take good care of yourself, and be gentle with yourself.
