Something I have been thinking a lot about lately is how to stay up when there is so much “down” in the world.
Perhaps in youth I just didn’t notice it, or maybe things really are getting a lot worse. But either way I have been really struggling to stay positive as I feel increasingly surrounded by bad news, downward trends, and growing negativity.
In my own personal world, things are going better now than a year ago, or two years ago, or even five years ago. Not that I am without trials and struggles, but overall compared to a few years ago I am personally living much less on the edge. Thank Goodness.
Perhaps that is the solution — to focus on the micro level. Me and mine. Here and now. The moment. Because when I look out into the world, the bigger picture, things seem increasingly precarious.
There’s little I can do to control that bigger picture, so I struggle to figure out how much attention to pay all of that. If any attention at all. And yet to be oblivious also seems unwise.
And then there is the chatter. All the information that may or may not be true, real or not, harmless or a threat. It’s increasingly difficult to know who or what sources to believe anymore when every side seems to be yelling, “danger, danger, danger!”
I think all this weighs especially heavy on me as an empath type person. I literally can absorb other people’s emotional state, feeling it as if it were my own. I stopped watching televised news, or even online news for that very reason. It’s too disturbing. I prefer to read my news. And even then, it can get to me.
Anyway I don’t have the solution so in this case I ask you as the reader, what do you do to stay up in a down world? How do you keep the trials and tribulations of the outer world from draining energy needlessly from your inner one? How much do you let that in? What do you do to keep it out? How do you stay informed without that information becoming overwhelming, or downright paralyzing?
Please feel free to share in the comments your best tips for staying sane in an insane world. I appreciate it!
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
Something I have been thinking a lot about lately is how to stay up when there is so much “down” in the world.
………..
Honestly, sometimes I had to do a detox of social media , print media and television media. While I do the detox (usually a day or two), I’ll try to get outside more or dive deep into a hobby of mine (painting, writing, cooking, etc). Usually this helps to calm my nerves if I feel myself burdened with feeling down
Lol Ton. Well, I have the tittys 24×7, so I should be really happy there except when they are on your own body I don’t think it’s quite the same 😉 I like beer, also, but have found if I drank enough of it to drown all this out as much as I wish I could, I would be pretty much be comatose drunk at all times, and while it sounds like fun, I have too much going on for more than an occasional bender. 😉
Also, I am not sure there is anything that brings women the same level of joy as tittys bring men. Not fair! Lol.
I will say Ton your comment made me smile, so I appreciate that! 🙂 It was predictably Ton. Maybe I am overthinking my life and all this. Carpe diem and a 12 pack — TGIF!!!
@rpg: “Also, I am not sure there is anything that brings women the same level of joy as tittys bring men”
How bout the smell of an infant’s head?
Probably not the same kind of joy, but maybe equal in intensity?
@rpg: “… how to stay up when there is so much “down” in the world.”
Maybe someone could bottle the scent of an infant’s head and make a spray cologne out of it. Spray and sniff as needed.
Wonder if the scent would lose its effect if smelled often enough.
You just proved my point that women weren’t designed for happiness
RPG – I’ve also felt the same way. I had some rough things last year and have had to consciously resist the black pill. It’s become apparent to me, over the past 2 months, that my life is beyond exceptional and I’m doing better than I have for a very long time. Can’t ask for much more.
LOL. If you’ve got the titties, that’s why his song also has “wieners and wine”.
Men don’t need very much to be happy. Most get by just fine with their own two hands to work, a place to sleep at night, a dog or two, some beer and whiskey, a good vehicle that they can maintain. Maybe some music and something to read, and occasionally maybe a few women who will leave them alone most of the time.
Can hear some of the melody line from Ton’s video in this one.
‘Also, I am not sure there is anything that brings women the same level of joy as tittys bring men.’
It’s a male privilege.
I like going to Eucharistic adoration (prayer and meditation time), going to the gym to lift heavy things, drinking coffee, going to my job, listening to sport talk, and talking with people. There’s no point in getting bothered by news stories that have no bearing in my life whatsoever.
One more:
I’m down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say do Lord do right by me you know
I’m tired of being lonesome on’ry and mean…
I’d say definitely stay focused on your own world and what you can control, not what you can’t. I often think that we as a society are becoming a little too consumed with what everyone else is doing, and trying to control everything we don’t like. Anyone is bound to become overwhelmed and disappointed if they continue to do that.
Another thing is to realize that things could be worse. Many thing have been worse in the past. Count your blessings on the things that are better now.
what do you do to stay up in a down world?
Stay busy to keep my mind from idling just like you would want to keep your car moving to keep the engine from idling too long.
How do you keep the trials and tribulations of the outer world from draining energy needlessly from your inner one?
Have more appreciation for the little everyday things in life we commonly take for granted.
How much do you let that in?
I don’t think anyone consciously says to themselves, “Gee, how much bad shit do I wanna think about today.” It just happens and you deal with it as you go to the best of your ability.
What do you do to keep it out?
Fresh air, sunshine, drink water, exercise, listen to music, practice playing a musical instrument, sing a song or sing along to a song you’re listening to, hit the punching bag, find something to laugh about, get adequate amount of sleep.
How do you stay informed without that information becoming overwhelming, or downright paralyzing?
refer back to question one.
“How do you stay informed without that information becoming overwhelming, or downright paralyzing?”

It often seems to me that many woman do not have proper prospective. Maybe you don’t get joy out of tittys like a man does. But try this perspective; ‘if I have a solid man who is committed to me, he enjoys my tittys and he takes dang good care of them. Then I have it good; a large percentage of women can not claim the same.’
‘Maybe he deserves some titty time this weekend. After all, the results are going to be good for me.’
Everyone, including the ladies need to recognize when you have it good.
Bloom went to college for journalism. You know damn well she had a titties and never phase herself;)
Odd this thread is
Country music and boobs — very American this would be
Yoda – That’s likely because you are an unknown species who prefers that they are green. We earthling men love them the way that the are.
Closer to my tastes this is
I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers. Green, or not.
lol!
lolol!
i have the same struggles, Bloom.
great advice above.
i’ve had to learn that i don’t need to know everything, that it’s okay to focus on what’s in front of me and what’s mine – what God’s given me.
always willing to help another – i don’t necessarily go out of my way to search for ways to help others, but i’m always willing when something comes my way or to my attention that i’m able to do.
have learned to accept that there are those who can conquer the big stuff in this world without it affecting them the same way it affects me, so i leave them to it.
years ago read Now Discover Your Strengths, and when i did their little strengthsfinder test, empathy was the first on my top five list. it’s a double-edged sword, isn’t it, Bloom 🙂
– – –
well … i guess the difference btw titties and bear and wieners and wine is that one wiener is enough for me but men seem to get lots of enjoyment out of lots of titties! just thankful my husband loves mine up close regardless of how many others he enjoys from afar 😉
I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers
lol! my husband always says to me, “Baby, you can eat crackers in my bed any ol’ time!”
GLA – love this list!
Nice rack = Wife goggles
Sex is a private issue between a man and the 2 women having it and I don’t need to read about y’all weird cracker fetish ; )
“How do you stay informed without that information becoming overwhelming, or downright paralyzing?”
For some people, doing Rainman exercises (basic math problems in your head) helps. Start with addition and subtraction one through twelve, then go to multiplication and division also one through twelve. Yeah, it’s a kind of madness, but the method helps the gears turn.
Lol you guys crack me up. Yes, maybe I am overthinking this. 😛
@ Ton I did not have a phase, tho many did. Not that ya’ll will believe me but it’s boring but true! Lol.
“But try this perspective; ‘if I have a solid man who is committed to me, he enjoys my tittys and he takes dang good care of them. Then I have it good; a large percentage of women can not claim the same.’
‘Maybe he deserves some titty time this weekend. After all, the results are going to be good for me.’”
LOL exactly!!!!!!!
Yes… um… having wild passionate sex all kinds of ways… it definitely puts life into perspective for me 😀
And there’s something I think of as gratitude sex. It’s where you’re so thankful for your man working, providing, being a good father, etc. that you just want to give him as much pleasure as he can possibly stand.
Gratitude Sex. More women should “JUST DO IT!” lol
Gratitude Sex. More women should “JUST LOVE IT!” lol
Fixed that for you!
So true goFigure….
But just **doing it** would be a good start LOL.
‘ It’s where you’re so thankful for your man working, providing, being a good father, etc. that you just want to give him as much pleasure as he can possibly stand.’
Especially if she knows how to rattle the pots and pans in the kitchen too and starts off with that.
I’m always over- thinking things!
‘Closer to my tastes this is’
React like this when I see them.

“Nice rack = Wife goggles”
Yep; and she loves it!
‘Gratitude Sex. More women should “JUST DO IT!” lol’
I’m not sure which would surprise the husband more…the gratitude or the sex.
