Prevent yourself from doomscrolling. Don’t get sucked into media that just enrages you. Sabotaging your mental health does not make you better informed.

"ah yes, malaise again"

The problem is that a LOT of media today is rage baiting and outrage farming. Which is why it is more important than ever to always check multiple news sources and read the ENTIRE news articles, not just the clickbait headlines.

If your goal is to be informed, sure. If your goal is to save your sanity then you don’t need to read any of it.

Not getting sucked into a vortex of despair is not the same as sticking your head in the sand.

I meant reading actual news, not the kind of click-bait, outrage-farming stuff that sometimes calls itself that. Reading all of that will make you want to shoot yourself or blow something up for sure.

Stop doomscrolling? How do you think I got here in the first place 🥲

Even when I recognise I'm doing it I find it hard to snap out of.

I have found the best way to deal with the next 4 years as hard as it may be is to ignore everything around me. I don’t got time for doom and gloom I will focus on being creative instead

No shame in that.

Thank you. Needed this.

I’ve been listening to so many rife frequencies throughout the day just to calm my nervous system. I’m not even doom scrolling.

Times like these I’m reminded of the mantra of alcoholics anonymous, aka the serenity prayer.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

It's times like this that I'm reminded Bill Wilson asked for whiskey in the last days of his life. That's where I'm at.

I’m not asking you to have hope since I don’t know you personally enough— but if hope is low supply, for the next four years, it’s perfectly okay to let spite do the heavy lifting.

Live your best life to spite those who would see you brought low. Because fuck them.
