Elections can bring up a lot trauma. Human rights, medical rights, reproductive rights, - all on the line.
Lives, all on the line.
For many of us, it feels deeply personal.
The anticipation. The anxiety. The anger. It’s all real.
So today, I’ll simply ask this: how’s your heart? And what are you doing to care for it today?

My heart feels heavy and fearful for what could happen. I’m so sick of the constant anger, not to mention the damn political ads. I’m wearing out the mute button.
I would say that I am normally more political, and the importance of this year is really not lost on me. However, and this is a big "however", my ability to support or be actively engaged in the election this year has been diminished. My "heart" has not been in it.
I am watching it from a distance, but I am thinking, it's not just about one country anymore. Whatever the outcome will be, the result will have an impact on the whole world.
My heart is hurting for our country, our world. This rhetoric from both sides is exhausting and overwhelming. I’m just tired of all of it!

This makes total sense and I remember feeling that way too 💛
