So I've been preoccupied with work. I think it's an attempt to get away from brooding over the horrible world/national news... I keep thinking of all these "H" emotions. The Horrible H-es; both the actions and the reactions.
Hateful, Hysterical, Heinous.... Must stop brooding. I think it's the negative bias you're talking about, Upwards.
Yesterday I finally got back to yoga. I took a looong class. It really helps to ground me; "hug-the-earth" is a good pose.
