Hello All:

On a regular basis, I receive a blog from Virginia Laken who has MCI, mild cognitive impairment. Her blog this month was about dealing with COVID-19 and the anxiety that it brings about. As always, Virginia is very open and honest about this. I thought I would share her blog with you as well.

In this blog, she writes, "While I’m far from perfect, I have learned to catch myself when I start projecting negatives and dire possibilities—as I did so easily in my early stages of MCI." The last sentence of her blog was especially poignant as she talks about what she does when anxiety tries to overtake her,

"I take a deep breath or two or three. I think about how far I’ve come with dealing with my MCI, of how I have learned to acknowledge the fear or the what-if and disassociate from them, and then let them float off into the air by quoting Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With the Wind, “I’ll think about that tomorrow.”

Here is the link to the entire article, "What, oh What to do With Worry."
