Presidential
Stress!
According to a recent Pew Research Poll, over 55% of
the American Electorate are experiencing stress and anxiety about the upcoming Presidential
Election, saying they were “disgusted”. Even worse, over 70% said Trump would
make them nervous, if elected, and over 50% for Clinton.
My, what a lovely mess we have gotten ourselves in! It is hard
to believe that with all the talented people we have in the US that Clinton and
Trump are the best we can put forward for the next Presidency. And with these
high numbers of disapproval, it only gets worse once the new President is in
office.
So, the majority of us are going to be disappointed
with whoever wins and if Trump gets in, watch out Military, because he could
get us into to some serious trouble globally with his “off the cuff” remarks.
What are we supposed to do about this? Are we to live in constant stress and anxiety for the next four years? Do we now start our routine presidential stress management programs to help defend us and cope?
What we need to do is just be good Americans and “keep
our cool”. Since we create our own stress with our thoughts, the best strategy
is to “rethink” our feelings and just let them go. We will not help ourselves
or others once the newly elected President takes office. We will not change
anything once that happens.
However, it is imperative that each person support the
candidate of their choice and to vote. Once that is done, our work should be
devoted to finding capable people to represent
this great country.
