Election Night Survival Kit
|
Update for 2024!
I created this "Election Night Survival Kit" in the run-up to the 2016 General Election. I'm offering it again, for 2024. This time, maybe the need for such a thing is more obvious. I haven't edited it, so it still says "2016," and perhaps has an air of innocence we no longer embody. Nonetheless, the framework still holds as a structured reminder of how to incorporate some simple ritual and care-infused space as steps to avoid overwhelm. Let's do our best to prepare emotionally, somatically, and spiritually, whatever the outcome may be. Preparation is an anxiety reducer. Preparation sets space. Take a look at the PDF and even print it out and interact with it, get yourself set up, ready, nurtured, and protected. Invoke those Archetypal Figures. Fingers crossed. We Can Survive This 2016 Election Together! We need some coping strategies for right now, and we need a solid, concrete plan for Election Night 2016. We all know why we need it. The kit includes my own story about how the stress snuck up on me after the first debate and emerged in physical symptoms. |
