Recalibrating during terror and a raging pandemic

 

In many ways Trump terror sensitizes me to the
oppression, hate, injustice so many Americans 
have faced in the past--we must always
work for humanity and justice in every way.

As the Trump team wages terror on the American people in countless deadly and destructive ways, and as a pandemic rages, how do we recalibrate to foster the good and promise that exists?

Relationships

Think of the good relationships you have, and what you might do to empower those relationships in the days ahead. We need each other, and how we care for one another during these tough days matter.

Good work

Think of how you spend your time, and the result of those choices. Commit to daily efforts that bring about joy, justice, happiness, good health, and positivity. 

Work against the evil

Work against the evil in ways that you can, but also recognize that you can't counter the great evils that exist alone--work with others and support groups that counter evil in positive ways. 

Have some fun

What brings us joy is limited due to the irresponsibility and selfishness of the Trump team--he has taken what should be a joyous transfer of power and layered on death, destruction, injury, obstruction of justice, lawlessness, mockery, lies, and propaganda. We can't let his terror team take away from the good possible--we have to celebrate, spread the good news, and have some fun--that matters.

Be healthy

Get the rest you need. Eat nourishing, delicious foods. Engage in positive activity. Follow pandemic precautions to stay safe from the virus.

Be a kind listener and supporter

Make the time to listen to one another and support one another. Everyone is facing the Trump terror and pandemic in different ways. Be mindful of that and as supportive as you can be. 

Contribute

Contribute to the welfare of others. Doing for others has a positive domino effect that helps all of us. 

As you can see, I'm coaching myself ahead during these tough days of Trump terror and a raging pandemic. Recalibrating for the betterment possible ahead. Onward.
