We are in a pandemic and it doesn't feel comfortable. It is scary, anxiety-inducing, worrisome and there is a lot of unknown. In this episode of Happiness in Progress, Danielle talks about what we can do as we have very little control of the external parts of our lives. Danielle talks about how she gained control in spite of her diagnosed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. When you have OCD your mind tells you to do crazy things to somehow grasp control.
