What’s Trump got to do with it?
Hope to see you at 12:30PM for Focused Breath Live with me and Dr. V!
Whew!
With month 2 of quarantine soon to begin, there seem to be no shortage of things to be triggered by.
Turning on the news. Checking Facebook. Dirty dishes. Walking down the street. Trump. People’s reactions to Trump. . .
This recent uproar people are in about whatever Trump is saying or doing reminds me of a blog I wrote back when Trump first was elected. I looked back at it to see if it still felt relevant now that we are 4 years in.
Let’s see what you think. In November of 2016 I wrote:
“The thing that we are blaming, inevitably, is something outside ourselves that we may experience as a name for a symptom or a medical diagnosis, or in the political realm as the foe that threatens to take everything away from us. As long as we can defeat him or her, we feel that we can finally experience what we want.
The thing about a Stage 2 experience is that while we experience polarity, extremes, all-or-nothing, good vs evil, etc, we are identifying all our anger at something we regard as opposite to ourselves and our true nature and what we want. We don’t identify what it is inside ourselves that perpetuates this way of experiencing, because our focus is OUT THERE.
Without a full resolution in stages 1 or 2, we are likely to bounce back and forth between the two indefinitely. Suffering, sadness, upset, anger, frustration, suffering, sadness, frustration, etc. On and on and on. Culminating periodically in our bodies and our desire to “fix” what we think is wrong with us, and politically as our desire to save the country from the apocalypse of one candidate versus the other. Or at the very least to make the “better bad choice.”

Whichever end of the spectrum you fall on, politically, Focused Breath is here to help you become aware of, acknowledge, accept, and move the F on from whatever limited ways of perceiving/experiencing/being are holding you back.
Whether you think that Trump is bad, or you think that Trump is really bad. Whether you think Trump is a symptom of the problem, or you think Trump is evil incarnate and must be stopped at all costs, we want you to BRING THAT WITH YOU TO FOCUSED BREATH TODAY AT 12:30PM <3
