Breaking Free from Political Anxiety: A Call to Action

The dust has settled, and a new era is upon us. As we bid farewell to the tumultuous Trump presidency, it’s time to shift our focus from panic to productivity.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

It’s natural to feel anxious about the future, especially given the divisive rhetoric that has dominated our political landscape. However, as Chelsea so astutely points out, panicking does nothing to change the inevitable outcome. In fact, it can be counterproductive, fueling the very chaos and uncertainty that we’re trying to overcome.

Rather than getting bogged down in anxiety, Chelsea encourages us to think strategically. Acknowledge your fears, but don’t let them consume you. Instead, channel your energy into something productive.

Turn Panic into Productivity

So, what can you do? For starters, get involved in the Georgia runoff elections, which will determine the fate of the Senate. You can phone bank, text bank, canvas, or donate to causes that align with your values. Every little bit counts, and taking action can help alleviate feelings of impotence and anxiety.

Chelsea’s challenge to us is simple: between now and inauguration day, resist the urge to panic. Whenever you feel anxiety creeping in, take a step back and focus on something productive. Volunteer, donate, or encourage others to do the same. It may not change the outcome, but it will put us all in a better place mentally, preparing us for the long haul ahead.

Evicting Trump from Our Heads

For the past five years, Donald Trump has dominated our collective consciousness, spewing inflammatory rhetoric and sowing discord. But now, it’s time to evict him from our heads. We don’t have to pay attention to his tweets or bluster anymore. By turning down the volume on his noise, we can create space for a shared reality, working towards policy goals that benefit everyone, rather than fighting based on personality cults.

So, let’s take a deep breath, bask in the knowledge that a new era is upon us, and get to work. As Chelsea so eloquently puts it, “Let’s turn the volume down on that guy and get to work.”
