Today’s contributor is creative coach and media alchemist, Chris Howard.
Chris:
Something that I've been doing to keep sane and optimistic is unplug from the news as much as possible -- it doesn't change things one way or another whether or not I'm up to date with everything that's happening, and it just causes more anxiety and sleeplessness, so I figure why not just turn it off. Instead, I'm catching up on good books and good music.
Currently I'm reading "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible" by Charles Eisenstein (which has been like a soothing tonic compared to current events), and listening to this album, by our good mutual friend, Conor Provenzano:https://conorprovenzano.bandcamp.com/releases
And I'm also thinking about new projects I want to work on, and talking to potential collaborators, and generally trying to stay productive, but also trying to take things as easy as possible. It's definitely a strange time to be alive.
