Garages so clean, you could eat
on the floors. Not to mention symmetrically aligned tools, manicured lawns,
organized closets, and we’ve finally stopped the slow leak in the guest
bathroom. This group’s binge watching lasted about a week. Just enough time for
the shock of COVID to wear off, and the realization of our new normal to set
in. Mr. and Ms. Fix It are “making the most” of this situation. They are the
“doers”. They cope by fixing, building, creating. The sense of
accomplishment helps ease the anxiety tied to uncertainty, but what happens
when all of the projects are complete? Be mindful of your feelings and those
around you. Beware: Productivity does not negate stress. Don’t assume because
you’re busy you’re not internalizing trauma. We are all experiencing some level
of distress. Remember to take a break and breathe between projects. If “doing”
gets you through, then do…But don’t forget to take a moment and just be.
