Then go outside, or at least take a walk and admire the scenery.  Turn off the news and build a garden Lyrics: I believe that every heart is kind

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me  "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” ―  Fred Rogers
