6 tips to get through Trump's inauguration week that have helped me

With Donald Trump officially being inaugurated this week, a lot of Americans are experiencing some presidential-anxiety.

There's nothing you can do to feel truly good about this, but I have come up with some tactics you can try to relieve the stress of it all.

1. Before getting out of bed, stretch out, take a deep breath, and then proceed to scream, with unrelenting vigor, into your pillow for 25 consecutive seconds. You will instantly feel better.

2. Eat breakfast! Don’t forget that you’re allowed to treat yourself to the most important meal of the day. I recommend pouring a bowl of your favorite cereal and then screaming into the bowl for 25 uninterrupted seconds with enough force to propel the contents of the bowl onto the floor.

3. Meditating can be a very effective form of stress relief that you can try at home. Simply sit up straight on the floor, focus on your breathing and scream so loudly that your neighbor feels obligated to call the police, for roughly 25 seconds without stopping. You will find the stress and anxiety just melts off!

4. Music can greatly lift your mood and classical piano compositions can be especially calming. Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 11 is a three movement composition in the key of A major, and is perfect to put in your earbuds and scream to, desperately and unwaveringly, in approximately 25 second intervals.

5. Dating can be a great way to take your mind off the impending Trump presidency and all the concerning implications that come with it. Utilize a dating app like Tinder, and meet up with a mutual swipe to romantically scream for 25 straight seconds, into each other’s terrified mouths, without stopping.

6. Exercise is key and can be a fun way to keep your mind off things. Grab some running shoes, put on your favorite music and take a short jog, while screaming for 25 seconds at a time at the highest decibel your lungs are capable of producing, around your neighborhood and get a nice sweat going! You’ll find jogging gets easier every time you do it.
