Fodder for the next four years human flourishing
Seek out the positive stories
Seek out the stories that aren’t always told
Learn the story of the land you walk on
Spend time in new places
Work to create community where there isn’t any, or much
Eat food that makes you feel fantastic
Read books that open new spaces
Let yourself check out (when it feels right)
Push yourself to check in (when it feels right)
Consider getting involved with [local politics]
Replace [ ] with things that matter in your community
Take breaks from the news, facebook (sometimes lots)
Get outside as much as possible
Smile at strangers
Engage intimately with the way you were socialized
Look deeply into the motivations for doing the things you do
Do what you tell people you believe
Do what makes you feel most alive
Do it all the time
Let your love be fierce
Act out of fierce love for yourself
For others
Vow it won’t be the only time
Make time for unplanned, in-person conversations
With the people you don’t know
With the people you care most deeply about
Complicate your relationship with screens
Don’t give up
Let gentleness permeate everything.
