Trust me when I say, this is not a political tirade, just simple ways to help you cope during what’s beginning to look like a very long several months.
As we get closer to the election, we will continue to witness more strife and anger amongst friends and family. But how do we cope when many times we feel we can’t say what we really want to? Energy Medicine can help this campaign cycle be one of mental health by following these simple steps.
Shower Talks: Imagine a friend or family member that you would love to speak to about your views, but can’t seem to get a word in edge wise, is in front of you now. Are they in your mind? Now as you shower tell them how you feel out loud as if they are right in front of you. Get it all out of your brain and heart. Now take a deep breath and know that you’ve said your piece without getting into an argument or hurting anyone’s feelings.
Changing the Subject: Refrain from being a part of the conversation by simply changing the subject. “Have you heard that they found watching animal videos eases the mind and sooths the heart?”
Politics Aside: Keep politics out of your conversations.
Journaling Your Views: Start your very own political journal on paper where you simply write everything you want to say.
Regardless of what you do, you will find politics will be at the top of many conversations. However, this doesn’t mean you have to be a part of any of these conversations. Believe me when I say a good debate is good for anyone, but during a time of upheaval and discord it may be best to refrain. Now this does not mean I’m saying that you silent your voice or opinion. Learn to discern when it is appropriate to express your opinions. I’m simply suggesting that these are ways of keeping your anxiety levels down instead of in high gear.
Most importantly, it’s up to all of us to vote no matter what side you are on.
Here’s to your health,
Carolyn Osborn
