{Originally posted in 2016} Hitting refresh over and over is an option, but I think we can do better. Below are some ideas to help survive this evening’s anxious energy.
- Walk your dog
- Dress your dog in a cute sweater first
- Write a love letter to a woman’s rights activist
- Paint your nails red
- Soak in a lavender-infused bubble bath
- Organize a desk drawer
- Wear a pantsuit
- Order in your favorite meal
- Go for a run
- Head to a swanky hotel bar and sip bellinis while watching the results
- Do yoga
- Dance to Katy Perry’s “Roar” or “Fight Song“
- Take 10 deep breaths. Repeat.
- Dress in white to honor the Suffragettes
- Bake vegan cupcakes and top with red, white, and blue sprinkles
- Go for a brisk walk
- Rake leaves
- Write a letter of gratitude to a woman who has influenced you
- Document today in your journal
- Combat the isms: sexism, racism, classism, ableism, ageism, heterosexism, colorism, lookism, nativism
- Listen to classical music
- Meditate
- Make a list of gratitude
- Read an inspiring text
- Hug a loved one
Then hit refresh. Wishing you and yours a tranquil evening as the results come in. May the best {wo}man win and may we recognize the greatness already present in our perfectly imperfect nation. Bisous. x
