Let’s be honest.

It is challenging to stay positive right now.

The political climate feels tense, divisive and downright exhausting. From endless headlines to social media spirals, it can feel like we’re all stuck in a collective cloud of frustration and fatigue.

But here’s the truth…while we can’t control the noise, we can attempt to control how we respond to it.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone.

Let’s all shoot up a metaphorical syringe of Ozempic.

Reduce the consumption of what we ingest mentally.

Cut back on television news and toxic online discussions.

It is a given to be angry about unjust deportation, the devaluation of women’s rights,  the stock market and the state of democracy.

Take a walk, swim, laugh, enjoy an adult beverage, sample gummies…whatever it takes.

We are in the messy middle of insanity. History reminds us that we have dealt with turbulence before.

Keep the long view in sight.

Time to start another day.

I am looking forward to my morning coffee after screaming my brains out in my padded closet.
