@heidilifeldman I'm sure you're fed up with people telling you mindfulness can help.
But I think as a yogic exercise it sometimes can.

@heidilifeldman As a Westerner, I’ve experienced this at least once per summer, often more for the last ten years. We have had air quality in the purple zone, and one off the charts. One year we could not make out a butte that was a quarter mile away. Run your air conditioner fan continuously and change the filters more often. Buy an air quality monitor for inside your house. And know that it will pass eventually.
