Political Despair Placebos Mints
 
Each Placebos Mint tube includes a scroll with practical advice.
 
From the Advice Inside:
1. Recognize you are not alone or abnormal in how you feel.
2. Cut back a little on news media and instead schedule in something that brings you joy. For example, move around in nature, hang out with at least one friend, watch little kids or furry animals play, read a fun book, play music, cook—whatever engages you and makes you smile!
3. Express what you’re feeling by writing or by talking with someone who listens well and can hold space for you.
4. If you can, try to be light about it. Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and join others in laughter. Humor can be a powerful remedy.
5. Take action in a way that is manageable for you, such as calling your congressional leaders to register your opinion or volunteering with a local campaign.
