In reply to Robin Joy Berenson. Thanks, Robin, and thanks for the link. It captures much of what I've been feeling. I like it so much I think I will add the link to the end of my post for further reading!

In reply to hbksloss. Wise words, Heidi. I find walking and yoga to be my salvation during these anxious times.

The collective anxiety that this election has produced is not unifying (yet). At the moment, all we can do is figure out ways to find and create calmness. I am using yoga (afterall I am a yoga teacher) and lots of controlled breathing exercises. Once I feel my nervous system has calmed down from the shock and disbelief of the election results then I know I will be able to jump in with others to do the work that needs to be done. For the moment though it feels like a moment in which we all must first put our own oxygen masks on before we can begin to help others. But it is VERY important we we each put our own oxygen masks on. Mine is through yoga and breathing.

Sometimes we have to feel worse before we can feel better so no shame in having a good cry and then being able to sleep.
