Easy to forget (until we experience it) that as human beings we are whole systems. Easy to underestimate the effects of stress, grief, loss, change and physical strain on our brain's capacity. I'm a really smart woman and during this crisis I have had plenty of times when my brain has just been out to lunch. Impaired short-term memory, problems with concentration, difficulty reading, slower reactions....last year I had a regular run of everything from car accidents to losing my purse. Even found my phone in the fridge twice!
