I have noticed a general malaise in my body and mind these past couple of weeks. For me it has been a sick feeling stomach that I keep feeding too much sugar (thanks Halloween) and too much coffee. Add to that a lack of focus and low level feeling of being off balance. I know a number of people who have had a nagging cold or headache, or been short-tempered or tired. Our bodies are speaking to us.
If you are feeling anxious and overwhelmed about the election this week, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I can correlate my malaise to the amount of media and social media I allow myself to consume. It’s the news about how close the election is. The rhetoric that has escalated from what was already violent, abusive, and disrespectful language.
Our anxiety and stress are signs of fear.
