During the pandemic when we were compelled to remain sheltered, there was much more time to think. I was not around people, I was not driving much, and I was walking each day since the gym was closed. It was a time away from many distractions or things that needed to be focused on. Sometimes I was waiting in a line to get into a store. I can’t say exactly what I thought about.

Maybe this is why many reported feeling more mellow.
