This is an invitation to take a minute to nurture what you need during this difficult time of political decision making that feels harmful and out of our control.  
Over the past month, something I continue to think about is how is everyone doing?  My friends, small businesses, individuals, and marginalized communities.  At times I find myself overwhelmed and consumed wtih a range of emotions, thoughts, and worries.  
I want to offer a creative invitation that will help ease emotional stress you may be experiencing.  You can repeat it as often as is helpful.  You can share it with friends and loved ones as a way to connect and share with each other.  
Choose and draw a symbol to represent wha tyou need in this moment.  A nest could represent comfort, a triangle could represent solid ground, and a circle could represent hope.  Then draw yourself in or around the symbol.  
What do you notice?  Do you want to add anything to help nurture or strengthen this image?
