Creating new is a great way to feel better about yourself. While I would recommend that you get fresh air, exercise and work on creative activities, there is nothing wrong with taking a break to watch a movie or show on TV.

In this episode, he shares practical strategies to stay connected and maintain recovery while stuck at home.
