MENTALLY SURVIVING 🙃
Election season (and anxiety) is here
Hi fam,
If you’re in the midwest with us, you’re likely feeling fall making its way into our collective experience. Ahh, the time of year that brings falling leaves, spooky vibes, and endless mashed potatoes. AND - this season can bring something a little more unsettling: election season anxiety.
Election years can transform the landscape of public discourse, bringing a unique blend of energy, anticipation, and increased angst. This moment in time, riddled with intense political activity, also prompts us to reflect on the intersection of politics and personal well-being. It's an opportunity to approach our mental health with intention, to understand how policy decisions impact societal well-being, and to actively participate in shaping a culture that values mental health.
Engaging with the political process thoughtfully can empower us to emerge from this season not just unscathed but enriched, more informed, and prepared to contribute positively to the world around us.
