Dogma

How do you manage stress?

Who knows how I manage stress. I’m very fortunate because I’m at a point in my life where the day-to-day is not so uncertain.

But holy shit the state of the world, brings me back to my original statement of I have no idea how I manage stress. I’ve never been good at compartmentalizing injustice in the world.

Let’s take a very small part of this world. I’ve always been a big sports fan for many years, the success of the team I’m pulling for was tied to a certain happiness in my world.

Somewhere along the line I decided I can’t become emotionally invested in how well as certain sports team does. I simply don’t pay attention that much, and I certainly will not sit down and watch an entire sporting event.

I seem to have taken the same approach to the affairs of our country and the world. It’s not that I don’t care. I only have so much control and so much emotional bandwidth.

And it doesn’t hurt to have a dog.
