Just great once again Drew. I do like your idea of releasing stress before it happens and this is something that I do regularly. I have a 90 minute rule never sit for longer than 90 minutes and when you can take phone calls standing up or even pick up email standing up and that helps But then again you already know that. Thank you so much and congratulations on such great successes for you. Lauren Anderson.
Right now I'm researching about doomscrolling for our well-being newsletter. Found it interesting that you mentioned the proverbial cat videos as part of that. Or at least, just as bad for you as doomscrolling. Saw an interview with Pete Buttigieg (SP???) talking about trying to make more in-person conversations instead of electronically. All these things are tangled up together - but I have to say - doomscrolling right now is kind of necessary, just to keep up with all the craziness going on. But we absolutely need breaks with live people face to face, even if we are crying!
I think my challenge is that I want to be able to be intentional about both. There are times where I want to be informed, and I'm in the right mindset to the handle the news. There are other times where I just want a short break / reprieve.
The problem is when I'm looking for a break and then social media serves up the doom.

Those are two great guidelines to follow, thank you for sharing!
