We Got to Breathe Thru it and Stay in Joy .....Kamala Harris Style by Ayo Handy-Kendi, the Breath Sekou

I woke up this day, disappointed, yes, because I really had anticipated a different outcome, but I was not dismayed.   As a seasoned voter, I know, we, the people, are gonna make it, despite who the president of this country is. 

I knew another thing -  that the candidate of my choice, Kamala Harris and her campaign,  had done something remarkable, despite the election outcome.  .She had reminded the U.S.A. of the importance of JOY and this impact is the behavior that's gonna carry us thru.

The feeling of joy, has driven us for weeks, with a natural high because "joy" in our physicality actually changes our chemical output. Remember the song, "laugh and be happy?" Look at all of the studies that link laughter and oxygen, energy and vitality.  PEW teaches the "many ways to breathe" to remind us, how easy it is to change our moods,  find our joy, be more productive and heal ourselves, using joy created by breath.

I read an article about how MAGA  supporters' health have declined in many indicators, during this stressful campaign.  I saw again  how stress is the common denominator to some 60 or more  common, disorders., like HBP, Heart, Stroke and Diabetes. 

So after so much divisive, ugly smears and, anger, in this campaign for so many weeks, with more difficult days ahead, we must breathe thru this time, to bolster our mind, calm our nerves, lower our stress level, cope with our mental health and keep joy alive which creates HOPE  -- we are gonna make it thru no matter what it looks like no matter what the agenda of the day  is......There is a Higher Power, so stay high, to stay connected on that "high level". 

Laugh and breathe along with me in the video below, to shake off any negatives you may be feeling right now.   Find some hope and joy this day, because "PositivEnergyWorks" when we efficiently, ignite the power in the breath, think clearer and truly give thanks that we still have breath in our bodies to activate into constructive action.   ." https://www.positivenergyworks.com/up-coming-events.html

Consider breathing along with me often, on the PEW website "one minute" breath breaks"  to keep your power strong, and teach others as we "breathe better, live better", to take concerted efforts to make this country work for us all.  Anytime, 24/7, use our free to the public, "breathe along with me" space, especially, when you are feeling troubled about the direction of your life and the world, or  maybe can't sleep or just need to "relax and breathe".
