I didn’t grow up religious, but I’ve recently fallen in love with saying a little prayer before meals. Not a prayer, really. Some words of gratitude. Here's how it's transforming my friendships.

This talk was recorded in the fall of 2020. But very little has changed since then, considering we live in a precarious, alienating, often violent capitalist society.

This talk was recorded just before the election. But what I talk about in it can be applied to any political crisis. Even white supremacists storming the U.S. Capitol.

The air freezing. Wind gusting. Tumbleweeds rolling down my street. That’s what winter during a pandemic looks like in my mind.
I’ve read all the lists to prepare for a likely second wave of COVID-19. My workout routine is solid. Therapy is going well.
But none of it feels like enough. Part of me is terrified about being even more isolated. Another part of me is in denial, like that meme with the dog saying, “This is fine,” as the house burns around him.

It really does feel like half the country likes having a racist, misogynist reality TV show star as president. Or they’re willing to tolerate him to “own the libs.” But are Trump supporters really all that different from me?

I recently heard someone tell a story that made me feel less powerless about the country's political situation — at least at first.

I often find myself wanting to punch Trump supporters in the face. I want to hold them down and force feed them the awareness that the rich and powerful are swindling them.
But that feels shitty. Not because it’s wrong of me to want to do those things.
Because hate burns. It tenses up my shoulders and my gut. It makes me forget to breathe, to feel my feet on the ground. Hating ends up hurting me.

One of my favorite recent movies is the documentary “Free Solo” (2018), in which Alex Honnold climbs the 3,000-foot El Capitan rock wall without a rope.
But my favorite scene isn’t when he summits. Or when he shows off the van he lives in so he can focus on climbing. Or any of the times he nearly falls.

It’s okay that you want Trump to die from COVID-19. It’s also okay if you feel bad for him, like you would anyone suffering. Your internal world isn’t social media. There’s no “right” or “woke” feeling. There’s room inside of you for all your thoughts and feelings. Infinite space for resentment, sadness, anger, disbelief, apathy.

As social worker and author Brené Brown says, "The most compassionate people I’ve interviewed over the past 13 years were absolutely the most boundaried … loving and generous and really straightforward with what’s okay and what’s not okay."

I was catching up with a therapist friend recently when a light bulb went off in my mind: Meditation is harm reduction. It doesn’t solve the deeper emotional issues that cause many of our problems. But it helps us feel a little better in the here and now.

Where did my tendency to hustle and strive and work all the time come from? Why am I almost always planning and worrying about the future? Why can’t I rest more often? Why am I afraid to fully let go and relax? Why am I constantly standing on the balls of my feet, leaning headfirst into the future?

As James Clear has documented, stopping a habit or starting a healthy one is often easiest when broken down into continuous small improvements. “All big things come from small beginnings,” he writes. “The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision.”
Avoiding shame, I believe, is the most powerful “single, tiny decision” we can make.

So much is up in the air. Protests. A pandemic. The economy. A fascist president provoking his base with dog whistles about “law and order.” But—as it always is—the truth is in the uncertainty. It’s down there in the muck. It’s in noticing the urge to control and then letting go. It’s in the “I don’t know.”
