… that both the newly elected President and Vice President are adult children of alcoholics.
… both men are extremely unstable and susceptible to influence and manipulation.
… they are being used by powerful forces.
… when we recover from the trauma response we will have a clearer picture.
For now I am staying close to my routines. Doing the “next right thing”. Very slowly and deliberately, brush my teeth, make the coffee, open the window, breathe in the cool air, work some puzzles to get my brain warmed up, write stream of consciousness long hand, pause often. Make a gratitude list, read something inspirational. Make the bed. Make food. Eat. Go outside and walk. Pay attention. What are you noticing? The leaves are falling. The grass is still green. When your breath becomes labored, pause. When your breath becomes calm, continue. Keep pausing and continuing in this manner until your nervous system feels in balance.
Also, water your plants. Play sweet music such as old Motown or? Dance around in your pajamas.
Namaste. 🙏🏻☮️🦋
