In the middle of these rough times, I’ve found that puzzling is one of the most distracting, calming things I can do.  It gives me a sense of control at a time when I feel confounded by the global chaos.  I stick to 500-piece puzzles because the 1000-plus versions are too much sometimes.  I pick calm topics:  animals (especially dogs),  gardens, shops, a boat harbor, etc.  and lay out the pieces on my designated puzzle table.  Of course, you may not be a puzzle person (not everyone is), but if you’re feeling stressed, I highly recommend giving a puzzle a whirl.  It’s a problem you can solve.
