A Kind of Calm We All Crave Mentally Right Now

That's the take-away from a a news article  appearing on Bloomberg this morning. Just tune-out if you can't deal with too-much media mania. One psychologist reported that the  levels of anxiety and stress he is seeing are profound.
". . . Last fall, the American Psychological Association found that almost two-thirds of Americans listed “the state of the nation” as their primary source of stress, above both money and work. More than half believed that America was at its lowest point in history. Almost 70 percent of all Americans feel a sense of “news fatigue, . . "
Right. Where is that 'sweet spot' of calm you crave mentally at the same time realizing it can be like centering yourself in the eye of a hurricane. Just tune-out everything will be OK. These are not normal times when storms are raging every where while we all need our comfort zones in times of disruptive turmoil. Hunkering down trying to find shelter in-place to escape HIGH ANXIETY?
Freaked-Out Americans Desperately Seek
to Escape the News
Camping trips, home renovation shows and even a film about Mr. Rogers help citizens tune out what most are calling the nation’s lowest point in history.
