This episode of Degree of Experience we discuss how we keep a healthy and positive mindset in the midst of a negatively seeming world. Due to the nature of this topic it led to discussions of politics and world events, including COVID-19. Listener discretion is advised.My official stance on issues surrounding COVID-19 is that any health decisions should be made between an individual and a certified doctor. If you are looking for information about COVID-19 I ask that you seek this information from your doctor or from the CDC at CDC.GOV. We are not certified mental health professionals and we are also not doctors. We are just two individuals with a degree of experience that we like to share with others so that we all may work together to grow as healthier human beings each day.
