These are weird times we’re living in, aren’t they? Every day we’re bombarded with more difficult and worrying news stories, with little indication as to when any of the madness is going to end. The best thing you can do (other than stay at home, unless you’re one of our amazing key workers) is to try and maintain a positive attitude. Even if you’re usually the most positive person going, right now it’s a bit tougher than usual to do that. We’ve decided to keep it real (as usual), and chat about how difficult the past 2 weeks have been and how much everything has changed, but also share with you the tips we use to try and stay positive. Sending you all lots of love, please stay safe!
