I just want you to know, I get it. I’m just as angry and tired and sad about the election and the behavior of the stupid, newly elected being in the big White House. Notice I am not naming names or titles because this person, these people don’t deserve that kind of honor. Because they are not honorable. They are thieves. Plain and simple.
But don’t let them take you down with them.
Because that’s what they want. They want you to be tired, scared and stressed and give in. They want you to be angry. They feed off of it.
So don’t.
Don’t give them your anger to fuel their hate.
Don’t give them your fear to fuel their aggression.
Don’t give them your energy. It fuels them and fills their pocket books.
And I believe, they will not last.
Give love and comfort.
In the meantime, what can you or I do to make our lives better? One thing we can all do right away in our own homes and lives to transform our anger into love.
What do you love to do? Do it. I’m thinking of Martha Beck’s idea of making a Sanity Quilt. Quite simply, it’s finding small, easy things in your life that you love to do and doing it. I know, it sounds simple but it works.
So do it.
Do your walk in the woods to fuel your sense of wonder.
Pet your dog.
Hug your spouse.
Kiss your grandbaby to give and receive love.
Doodle with colorful markers.
Take a beautiful photo to share to fuel your creativity.
Write in your journal.
Write a positive post on social media to share good thoughts.
Be kind to your elected officials and their interns who are on your side.
Help others and help yourself.
What can you do that helps make life better?
It doesn’t have to be big.
