The USA Election is Still a Mess, But Kamala Harris is President! 🎉

4 Feb

If you’ve been stress-eating snacks like the election results were a season finale cliffhanger, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Political chaos is bad for wellness, but luckily, I’ve got you covered.

Well, folks, the 2024 election is over, but somehow, we’re still trapped in this bizarre political soap opera where Vote.gov and State.gov keep getting hacked, and Donald Trump is running around like a guy who got kicked out of a party but refuses to leave.

You’d think after losing (again), he’d take up golf full-time, but no—he’s still claiming he’s the rightful president, as if repeating it enough times will make it true. At this rate, he might start swearing himself in at Mar-a-Lago using a laminated McDonald’s menu as the Constitution.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is out here trying to do her job, but with these hacking issues still looming, it might take a minute before we see her addressing the nation regularly. Until the digital chaos settles, let’s shift gears and talk about something we can control: our own well-being.

Because let’s be real—politics can be exhausting. And if you’re still recovering from the four-year-long anxiety attackthat was Trump’s last term (plus the tantrum he’s throwing now), you’re not alone. So, here’s a wellness guide to help you bounce back, featuring some of Trump’s most infamous moments—only this time, we’re flipping the script into something positive and empowering. 🌈

1. Connection & Community Over Division

Remember when Trump said about immigrants: "They're all rapists." (2015) Yeah… that was horrific. But instead of dwelling on division, let’s cultivate connection.

🌟 Wellness Action:

Schedule a virtual coffee date ☕ or a catch-up call with a friend 📞.
Plan a game night or dinner with loved ones.
Join a community group that aligns with your values.

The goal? Surround yourself with good energy and avoid getting lost in the doom scroll.

2. Empathy & Compassion Over Cruelty

One of Trump’s lowest moments? Mocking a disabled reporter. (2015) We don’t need that level of negativity in our lives. Let’s replace it with kindness.

💖 Wellness Action:

Perform a random act of kindness—buy a stranger a coffee, tip generously, or compliment someone!
Volunteer for a cause that matters to you.
Offer a listening ear to someone who needs support.

Spreading empathy isn’t just good for the world—it’s good for your mental health, too.

3. Creativity & Joy Over Negativity

In 2018, Trump referred to certain nations as “shithole countries.” Instead of absorbing negativity, let’s focus on creativity and joy.

🎨 Wellness Action:

Try a new creative hobby—painting, dancing 💃, writing ✍️, or even knitting 🧶.
Put on your favorite music and have a mini dance party in your living room.
Laugh. Watch stand-up, memes, or just scroll through the absolute circus that is Trump’s Truth Social rants.

4. Rest & Recharge Over Chaos

Trump had a habit of rage-tweeting at 3 AM, and let’s be honest—none of us need that level of unrest in our lives.

🛌 Wellness Action:

Prioritize good sleep. No doom-scrolling in bed!
Take a social media detox—log off, go outside, breathe.
Try meditation, deep breathing, or just lying on the floor in protest of life (surprisingly effective).

Final Thought: Take Care of Yourself

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by political chaos, reach out for support. Therapy is great, venting to friends is great, and sometimes, just screaming into a pillow works too.

But most importantly—Kamala Harris is President. Phew! 🎉

Now, let’s manifest some peace, sanity, and better Wi-Fi security for government websites. 💪💚
