In our current world order, in this country, I think we need to remind ourselves that healthy adaptation is not acquiescence.
It's not helpful for us, emotionally or physiologically, to fail to adapt to what is happening now.
It's not helpful for us to engage in big shock and surprise and fear and alarm, when we know it is fairly predictable that many very problematic things are going to keep coming down the pike.
So how do we make our best effort, at educating and informing ourselves with some modicum of balance, and then activating to support the country we want to live in.
And yet, accept the fact that there will be surprising, disappointing, and alarming events in the foreseeable future?
Instead of repeatedly subjecting ourselves to fear and upset, we might want to find a way to mindfully accept what is happening now. While taking good care of ourselves.
And doing everything we can, to be as healthy, well fed, well slept, and safest possible.
While effectively activating to make our voices heard. To effect good values and change.
