It has been 2 weeks since we launched the casual yet informative online show, Quarantalk. We’re now about to head on to another week of quarantine. Challenges persist, anxieties build up. We’ll all just do our best to cope and adapt to our current circumstances. And here we are, putting together episodes to keep people company in these trying times, in the hours when falling asleep becomes more challenging as anxiety and worries usually creep in.

Altruists are driven by a deep urge to do something. To make things right. To make this situation lighter especially for those in need. This even sometimes leads to guilt when we feel powerless to do anything. Considering the circumstances you’re in, what’s in your power that can make a difference in the lives of many? Here are some ideas for you and me.

How do you consume news and manage your emotional and psychological response to what you see and hear? For some, following news is an option. But there are some of us who work in the media and the public sector where getting up to speed with what’s happening is a must. As this continuous flow of information threaten to overwhelm me, I realize some things help me cope.
