Wendy. Periodically. Don’t Panic.

Last post was on not consuming the news more than 20 minutes a day. That is step one toward better mental health. Today is about not panicking and running for the hills, or your gun, or Europe. If your candidate doesn’t win, that doesn’t mean that society is actually going to crumble. You are still here, aren’t you? You have been surviving despite who is running the government. You might not be happy about what is going on nationally, but how are you doing in your community? In fact, what can you be doing for your community? That has more of a impact on your daily living, doesn’t it? So no need to panic. Yet. Practice optimism and look for what is going well. That is catchy and a better mental state.
