So many people are in a heightened state of anxiety right now. My back has been tweaked for weeks, and I’m totally blaming it on #election2016. As some readers might know, I try to take a 24-hour break from worrying each week beginning on Friday evenings. It’s a mind jujitsu and requires practice, but I’ve been doing this for years, and have gotten the hang of it. Today, for the first time, I implemented this practice on a Monday. That’s how much I needed it. How are you coping?
