In the wake of Trump’s incendiary rhetoric and actions, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the threat it poses to our democracy. But amid the noise, it’s crucial to prioritize rest. Rest allows us to process our emotions, recharge our minds, and replenish our energy stores. It provides the space we need to find perspective, make informed decisions, and engage in meaningful action. By embracing rest, we not only protect our own well-being but also create a foundation for a more just and equitable society. Let us not be consumed by the constant onslaught of news and social media. Let us make time for quiet reflection, meaningful connections, and restorative activities that nourish our physical, mental, and emotional health.
