"Oh my God, if everything is going to have to be that way, and follow that thread, then we're all going to die," says Emiliana Simon-Thomas, highlighting the common tendency to catastrophize. Despite this distress, she reminds us that Inauguration Day is just a moment and not the end.
Anindita Bhaumik, a therapist, suggests utilizing Inauguration Day, which coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, to volunteer. This act not only aids the community but also reduces stress and enhances life satisfaction.
Simon-Thomas notes, "I’m very far from the kind of excessively optimistic person who just tries to put their head in the clouds and pretend it’s not happening," emphasizing a balanced perspective amidst the divisive election.
Bhaumik points out, "The cause of anxiety is often a desire to control the outcome," suggesting that engaging in community service can help redirect focus from uncontrollable political outcomes.
