Folk #1: "Self-care." Very important. Especially if you are tuned in to the Global situation: a crazy-ass planet, populated, & over-run by a crazy-ass species. We think we are so goddamned smart, and privileged & entitled. What a joke. It's on us.
So, yes, we feel obligated to pay attention, it is part of the job of being a Human Being, but it is an energy-suck. We must be smart about using our energy wisely, it is not an infinite resource, often we must pull our energy back in, focus on clearing, cleansing, meditating, letting go of all the stupid, toxic, evil shite flowing past and over us.
A disciplined retreat & stepping back. It is important, and essential to occupy ourselves, to fortify ourselves with healthy food in it's various forms. Food for the body & the spirit. For us, it's always plant-based, organic food, plus, of course, the food for the spirit: music, literature, poetry, novels, engaging fictions, and an endless search for intelligent life on the planet.
Finding a spot of peace, gratitude, wonder, joy, despite the crazy-ass lunacy.
