Last week was hellish, let's be honest. Our country's morals are disintegrating, our president is covered in Dorito dust, the racists are emerging from the cracks in the sidewalk, and there's just a**holes all around. But I digress. No matter which team to you play for, last week was stressful and it showed. Facebook fights raged on. Protesters flooded the streets (vive la résistance!). It was a relentless onslaught of drama. And frankly, I'm tired of it.
Now, that doesn't mean you should stop resisting! I'm right there with you, guys but, I'm not trying to lose all my hair from stress either. Life's about balance, everything in moderation. You have to regulate your levels of anarchy with relaxation.
So here's some things you can do.
1. Take a nap
Self-explanatory.
2. Dance around to "Les Misérables" or "Hairspray"
Let the angst fuel you.
3. Read a book
I recommend something by Kurt Vonnegut.
4. Go outside
I know, I know, it's scary out there, but fresh air is good for you.
5. Create some art
Every successful artist is pissed off about something.
6. Watch a movie
"V for Vendetta", "The Patriot", "Schindler's List"...
7. Drink some tea
The plant water is good for you, trust me.
8. Pet a dog
Always a good idea
9. Play a video game
Get some of that rage out, kiddos.
10. Write
It helps, trust me.
11. Exercise
You have to get in shape for those long marches.
12. Take another nap
One is never enough.
13. Star-gaze
We are all tiny and insignificant. Find some comfort in that.
14. Eat some pancakes
Always makes me feel better.
15. Realize that it's only four years
Seriously though, it's going to be okay.
