Uncertainty is all around us, especially when the news is full of COVID19 updates and so much conflicting information. To cope with all this uncertainty, many of us turn to our oldest coping tool we know, “The Worry Machine.” We hope it will help to predict the future and avoid nasty surprises. It does not work and really never has. Let’s come together and find a better tool or two…ones we can share with others who are suffering from Worry Machine overload. This class can be conducted in a Zoom format, if necessary. Patricia LaVallee is a former Adult CNA instructor at MCST. She is an RN and Certified Mind Set Life Coach with over 35 years of nursing, teaching, and coaching experience.
