A Public Service Announcement from Worleygig.com:

During what can only be called highly distressing times, it’s challenging to find your center calm. You might experience a tendency to panic and get distracted from your core beingness by everything that’s going on; especially when this assault on Democracy is designed to be overwhelming. Please remember that the most important thing is to take care of yourself — your mental health, specifically — and your loved ones, friends and neighbors. We really need to take care of each other now.

Thinking about mental wellbeing, is helps a lot to look for easy and fun (and sometimes free) activities to let you expand your mind into thoughts of peace and beauty, such as visiting local museums. Here in the city, I like to visit the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney Museum, the New York Botanical Garden (so perfect for spending time in nature without leaving the city), and other cultural institutions which not only feed my soul, but provide me lots of cool things to write about for this website.

You can also practice selfcare by investigating a meditation practice, taking yoga classes, going for long walks, or ramping-up whatever exercise routine works best for you.

Remember to eat delicious foods that you enjoy and don’t worry too much about ‘cheating,’ because comfort food is called that for a reason.

Most importanty, know that you are not alone. We’re all in this together and we will get through it, no matter what.
