Let’s talk mental health…
The intention of the current administration is to use this back to back onslaught of devastating blows to leave the American public stunned and paralyzed so they can really take total control and do whatever they want.
We play into their hands by keeping their nonsense trending. Keep in mind, he’s not a politician, he’s a reality star. He’s managed to remain relevant for decades by staying in the news, regardless of how he’s failed as a business man. This is a game to him. And he’s winning.
He’s ensuring we don’t look away, by doing one thing after another of equal shock value. It’s a magic trick. A f*cked up one. While he’s got us focused over here, what’s he doing over there? It’s both mind control and distraction. And we’ve gotta look away.
I’m not saying don’t organize or do purposeful things toward regaining control of what’s within our power. I’m saying, for our mental health, we need to stop watching the baboon throw his sh*t around. We need to pause and find our center, or he’s REALLY won.
A friend shared this and it’s so powerful by @Matt Tebbe on Facebook.
This is just an excerpt that resonated with me…
“This is what they’re doing: overwhelming our nervous systems with an avalanche of awfulness so that we cannot move, or think, or regulate. So I will endeavor to:
a- limit my consumption of MAGA shock porn
b- tend to and be aware of what my body needs (sleep, joy, movement)
c- seek to move my body as a source of power into particular spaces where i can lay it down in love
d- guard against despair, apathy, numbing out as ways to medicate my body….”
So please… take a weekend and back away from the news, the posting about it, the outrage of it all. Get your feet back under you. Return to your spiritual practice, mental health practice, get outside in nature (even sitting in your car in nature is good), eat some good food, laugh, dance, play good music…
Put some distance between yourself and the mind control. Let me tell you something.
Dictators and cult leaders use the same tactics. The repetition of what they want you to believe will be echoed nonstop and if you don’t look away and shift what you’re feeding your mind….
Anyway, I think you get the point. Take a day of no scrolling. Take an hour away from the blue screen. Put on some good music for an hour and listen with your eyes closed.
Remember who you are and the power that you do have. This is an attempt to make us feel powerless. Let’s shake ourselves out of this stupor and get back in our power.
Much love to you and yours.
Blessings!
