I'm not watching news. Haven't since Nov 6.
Getting info from indie journos.
And talking with my family and friends. A Lot.
But dissing network and cable news has helped so much.
One of my lock down lessons was to learn to be patient with myself and my body, because it was doing everything it could to survive something awful - AND, I worked on learning new coping distraction skills - and it’s how I became a plant gay…. For 3 months till they all died. Lol.
Hahahahha! Same here! I stocked up on all the ice cream, and ramen and I have an ice pack that looks like a training bra. I’m gonna try to sleep through as much as possible.
Also hilarious that it took us both so long to get it done!
I'm still trying to figure it out, too, and I'm usually good at this stuff.
Taking action and creating 3rd Space in community brings healing.
Honoring and observing difficult emotions may work in this case. Meditations to view our own turbulent thoughts from a higher perspective may help too.
Keeping friends and family close, tuning out all of the noise, watching fun shows like The Office. Meditation. Walking. Focusing on what I can control.
Keeping distracted & seeking different focus areas like a lot of you. 1 new thing, I joined Project FeederWatch for the winter so watching the birds a calming influence.
I wish I had a $ for everyone who's asked.😏😆
But seriously, something very satisfying about pulling everything out of a cupboard, purging the old, useless stuff, cleaning off the keepers, and putting everything back in a way that's easy to see. This works on so many levels.
