This is an entirely different approach than most people are used to. My advice from a couple of combat deployments is to cultivate a task oriented mindset. What does that mean? It means worrying about the task you are doing right now and nothing else. That doesn’t mean you never look at the bigger picture. But if you’re at dinner, then you’re at dinner and you enjoy that. You can check when the next protest is, after dinner. You take each day like this and before you know it we’ll be voting Trump out of office.
before you know it we’ll be voting Trump out of office.
No offense, but this is a weird comment. How are we going to vote him out of office? Are we just accepting that he’s going to run for a third term? We can’t let him do that.
Don’t comply in advance, don’t take it for granted that the next election won’t happen. They want you to cancel that election, don’t do their work for them.
Wow, so this is basically the technique I started when a close family member was dying of cancer.
“But if you’re at dinner, then you’re at dinner and you enjoy that”
I just want to add to this, give yourself permission to fully enjoy it and be happy in the moment. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling joy when you know others are still in crisis.
Make a list on paper or digital and let all the problems wait while you enjoy the moment. It’s okay to enjoy the moment.

There will be no “voting maga out of office”.
That ship has sailed.
Don’t comply in advance, don’t take it for granted that the next election won’t happen. They want you to cancel that election, don’t do their work for them.
Oh people will fill out ballots and there will be election maps, don’t worry about that.
