It’s pretty terrible reading about the current events in our culture.
Turning on the news is often a nauseating act of self deprecation.
There are increasingly very few spots in media where you are not bombarded with violence against this person or that group.
You find yourself paying to watch these events by supporting your local cable or streaming service.
It seems as if every solution to our most egregious problems comes with a cost to another groups so-called oppression or perceived rights and it’s my determination that we have definitely lost our way in the darkness of self indulgence.
From Bribery, corruption, mishandling of classified documents, weaponized judicial system, inciting violence, commiting gross negligence of Whitehouse procedures concerning displays of patriotic symbols, protection for corrupt representatives, LGTBQlmnop123, religious rhetoric, cultural depravity, etc…
You name it! It’s all you see in the media.
I turned off the TV to lamestream media news years ago, but the rise of social media took over the reach of the lamestream media from broadcasting and cable to the channeling of the information to our cellphones, tablets and laptops.
So when it’s claimed that we should just tune out or turn off. That is easier said than done.
However, there is hope for us who try to distance ourselves from the news aimed at controlling our emotions and advertisers clamoring for our attention.
Tomorrow when the sun rises. You can still do these things to mitigate the damage of what life throws our way.
Here’s a list:
Wake up and be thankful
Tally up your blessings before your feet hit the floor
Walk outside barefoot and ground yourself to the earth. When was the last time you truly went barefoot?
Take a deep breath and exhale your stress into the air.
Go smell a flower growing in your yard, or your neighbors yard.
Smile at the first person you see
Wave at a stranger, no matter how strange they are.
Look up, look down, look around you and find something beautiful to look at.
There are many more things like this you can do every morning to take a little control over your life before we jump into our world of 9-5, family issues and generally just what life throws at us.
Years ago in my youth, there was a quote being said by a certain person and a generation of people who today have forgotten their mantra of their yesteryears.
“Turn on, tune in, drop out”
“Turn on” means to go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers engaging them.
“Tune in” means to interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives.
“Drop Out” means self-reliance, a discovery of one’s singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change.
Perhaps the late Dr. Timothy Leary was right all along…
