As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, some Americans are “dreading” the Republican’s return to office and experiencing increased anxiety, a new report says.
Time Magazine reported Friday about 11 “science-backed” activities people can try on Monday to cope with their “sense of hopelessness” about the incoming administration.
Psychology experts and therapists suggested a variety of activities that could help those emotional about Trump’s return take their focus off their anxiety and gain a new perspective.
Emiliana Simon-Thomas, a psychology expert and science director at the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, recommended exercising, doing a creative activity, showing an act of kindness, smiling at strangers, and going to see a performance. These activities can boost your mood, help you regain a sense of control and feel connected to others, she said.
Working out can “wrest back a sense of power that you might feel is missing on Inauguration Day,” the report said. “You might not be able to do anything about the new administration’s policies, but you know what you can do? Fifteen perfect-form jumping jacks.”
Group crying was another recommendation in the report.
“It might seem counterintuitive, but if you need to shed a few tears on Inauguration Day, it’s healthy to let them out with one caveat: You shouldn’t do it alone,” Time reported.
“The grace and speed with which somebody recovers from grief if they have an opportunity to cry with the support of another person—someone who they trust and who they believe cares about them—is orders of magnitude improved,” said Simon-Thomas.

The woketardian leftists will need to cover their eyes and ears to avoid seeing and hearing the joyful sounds of sane U.S. patriots celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration as President and the end of ChiComjoe and his traitorous kakistocracy.
Now there's someone in whose hands I'd place my emotional well-being. Come on, this is parody, right?
I would be very happy to provide some private counseling to these poor folks to assist them with their perspective.
Forest bathing? I’m not quite sure what that it is. But it sounds like it might upset the delicate balance of nature.
They should do study first, then file an environmental impact statement with the EPA. And if they omit that key step, arrest the whole lot of them.
Oh, Brother...
But, ya do gotta be careful!
Just OD on fentanyl. You know you want to.

Maniacal nymphettes, maybe?
Shovin’ a corn cob up your liberal ying yang while whistling “Imagine” helps also.
I was thinking a nice bottle of Jameson Black Barrel, ball ice, splash of water.
