The year 2020 only gets weirder.
It's not enough to have a giant killer death disease with the unique ability to politicize everything and everyone to literal death. No; we have an election, communist riots, and now a tussle over the Supreme Court that turns the dial up a few more notches.
Combined with technology that allows us to stay connected to the 1,440 minute-a-day "news" cycle it is more than easy to get locked into a grinding cycle of fruitless emotional exhaustion.
Maybe you could use a conscious reminder to go and do something disconnected for yourself. If so, this is it.
The shut-downs have disrupted the patterns we have constructed. By accident or intent our lives before worked well enough for us to at least get by. A splintery two-by-four got thrown through all of that so now we have to intentionally construct a replacement.
As Jack Spirko says, "If you don't design your life, don't worry -- someone else will design it for you."
Perhaps you have settled in to a new cycle that is not serving you well. Today is an opportunity to take a hard look at your systems and make them better.
I am a natural worrier. This year has been like a drug for me. I am taking the rest of the month off of internet news and using the extra time to exercise more. Let me know if something important happens, I won't find out elsewhere.
