How I'm Coping After the Election

We Can’t Control the Outcome. We Can Only Control our Reaction.

After the election, I cried and raged for my country. Then, for self-preservation, I stepped away from the news and distracted myself with holiday rom-com movies. And I did a lot of energy work to keep my thoughts from spinning negatively.

After mourning for a while, I was still emotionally tender and protected myself from the heavier, denser vibrations that are expected and ongoing. I leaned into my spiritual practices and soothed my body, mind, heart, and soul.

The more I leaned into my spirit team, and the more I leaned into my soul, the more inner peace I found. Then, inner peace became my goal. No matter what is happening around me, I can only control my reaction. I continued to focus on my spiritual practices.

And then awareness came, my intention: alignment, flow, and inner peace. By making that my intention, I had something to focus on, so my mind was occupied. My spiritual practices were focused on the new intention, so they were easier to focus on.

Very soon, I came into alignment, found my flow, and returned to inner peace. It was a great relief. It felt like I was back on a firm foundation.

It is from this vibration that I can release judgment of others. Over and over when necessary.

It is from this vibration that I can see every human as a material representation of the universe, God, Source, Spirit, angels, archangels, ascended masters, ancestors, family in spirit, and all deities. We are Divine, all of us, even when acting from ego and free will.

We cannot control the outcome. We can only control our reaction. It’s true. And the way I do that is with intention, practice, and self-care.

This is how I’ve been coping with the aftermath of the election. It works for me in this moment of chaos. Maybe there is something here that can help you in your moments of chaos.

For the record, I am proudly pro-democracy, pro-feminism, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-immigrant, anti-racist, and pro-environment. All are welcome in this space. And I really do love you.

I’m grateful you’re here. I love you.

Be well, beautiful soul,

Nikki
