This Is How Optimism Can Help Your Physical And Mental Health
unsplashWhile wildfires are ravaging L.A and right-wing internet personalities are making terrifying waves, it may feel like optimism is the most impossible emotion to find in these times. However, optimism and hope are forces for good, and it turns out, can actually benefit both your physical and mental health, too. AdvertisementSpeaking to Futurity, lawyer Scott L Rogers says: “Optimism shapes how individuals interpret situations, often reducing their perceived stressfulness. You can be optimistic but pragmatic.”So, optimism is less blind faith and more believing that the good thing that’s posisble to happen, will happen. If it’s just as likely as the bad possibility, where’s the harm in looking on the bright side?

I Was Facing Terrifying News From My Doctor. Then My Friend Texted 2 Words That Made Me Rethink Everything.
“Always.”Unbeknownst to my daughter, I was waiting to find out if I had breast cancer. “Stay positive!” Those are the two words a lifelong friend had texted me when I shared that something suspicious had appeared on my breast MRI and required a biopsy. I remembered the young woman I once wrote about named Nicole, who died of breast cancer when her daughter was 3. I thought about my friend Catherine, who had lost her mother to ovarian cancer and then survived breast cancer herself while pregnant in her 30s. Just as fear is part of love, mortality is part of life, and that impermanence imbues the present moment with magical potency.

We've All Been Told To Forgive — But Here's When You Shouldn't
Some people and situations may not warrant forgiveness, and it’s crucial for our mental health to recognize when that’s the case. Forgiveness has to be built on a foundation of basic humanity,” Boykin said on this week’s episode, drawing her line in the sand. “If we’re talking about people who have done things, have said things or that uphold systems that dehumanize you, I don’t believe that you have any moral obligation to forgive them.

Trump Mulling Executive Order To Stall TikTok Sale Or Ban: Report
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident-elect Donald Trump is considering an executive order once he’s in office to stall a law that would force the sale or closure of TikTok, The Washington Post reported Wednesday night. The report adds new intrigue to the TikTok saga after Congress passed bipartisan legislation last April to force the sale of the app, which is owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance. Lawmakers worry users’ data could be accessed by the Chinese government and many have called the app a threat to national security. It’s unclear how an executive order would circumvent a ban, set to go into effect on Jan. 19, a day before Trump’s inauguration. The Supreme Court is also considering a challenge to the law after TikTok argued concerns about the app are overblown and violate the First Amendment.

To be clear, I very much understand why people are choosing not to engage with those who are politically different from them. Political decisions can be deeply personal and have very real consequences, particularly for marginalized groups.
