What we're slowly reminding ourselves is to settle down. To cool out. To become informed. But to watch which media source we view.
To limit speculative stuffs and fear mongering, while using this chance to study up on situations and history and structures of import. To gain perspective. Learn and exchange ideas.
To set our own priorities. And focus on what we might do, on our own time, in our own small ways, to make a difference regarding that which is important to us.
To take things in stride. To balance external news sources and information with other activities and subject matter. To take good care of ourselves right now.
To not cast too large a speculative net, because we will only be reduced to distress. To limit engagement with those who are choosing to overindulge in news and then spin out.
To ground our selves in our lives, in good nourishing foods and clean water and solid sleep.
To look into the eyes of others and not live our lives staring at some screen.
To say YES to difficulty and sad things and things that gravely concern us. To say Yes, that is happening . Yes I am so uncomfortable with this in the world. Yes I am spitting mad.
We can settle ourselves. And make sure we limit exposure to thoughts and worries later in the day.
We can remain somewhat informed and leave thoughts about world events by dinner time; and be quiet and peaceful and engaged in things that give pleasure and that matter, until we fall into what we hope is a well earned deep sleep.
