I’ve noticed that some of my closer friends are being more adversely affected by news of the daily antics in DC.; expressing lots of stress and worry now about the upheaval in government structures and personnel firings, etc.. To which I can only say that much of this fallout was inevitable once the die was cast on election day. I personally am only doing what was suggested to me—I am waiting and watching. No big emotion—no big reaction to anything done now, because sometimes NOT reacting is the very best thing you CAN do in situations beyond your control. My advice for most of us with no retaliatory political power: ‘Wait and watch’ and see how it actually shakes out. Hold your own energy frequency as high as possible for you. (I’ve previously listed here techniques to help in that regard.)
Sometimes deescalating a situation is the far better approach to peacefully resolving a conflict than is in-your-face resistance to it. Sometimes the ‘conflict creator’ wants you to adversely react or to OVER react to what is being threatened.
Sometimes it takes far more inner strength to NOT go nose to nose with a conflict instigator. Take it from a combative personality whose first instinct is to clench my fists and step forward toward the blustering bully trying to block my path. When your actions become too predictable, they’ve got you right where they want you. Better to step back, assess what is really happening, and then plan your way forward from there.
Will this whole situation get worse? … Oh heavens yes. No question there. ☺️
Can you endure it until it reaches a natural resolution through courts or future elections? Hopefully you can, but it will require your digging deep within you to hold your cool and then assess and plan your next step forward.
Peaceful resistance is the best option: unified marches, letters to representatives, active coalition building with similar thinking people all make positive statements of peaceful discontent with policies leveled on the masses; and use less of this passive-aggressive BS on social media. That just makes you a target for retaliation. This is not an US versus THEM situation no matter how much the chief chaos agent wants his followers to believe that it is.
This is about US—ALL of us. And right now is a bit too early to start moving to his proposed 51st state in the frozen north. We’ll get through this. Just strengthen your inner resolve to do so and stay smart. Life will always be a challenge of some sort. This is just the latest one. You can handle this.
This could actually be an ‘evolution’ challenge in disguise for lawmakers and the courts to see who can ‘grow a backbone’ during the next four years. Wouldn’t that be something? Hopefully the Departments of Science and Health are still standing by then to document it.
