My time spent doing Sudoko has increased tenfold since the election. I devour all three levels of the NYT Sudokus as soon as they come available and then head to those in the LA Times. I often chide myself. What a waste of time, but alas, it is soothing.

Also, I think it helps to think about why sometimes a conservative approach makes sense. I don't think it's a binary, in terms of how we relate to stress. I think it's a spectrum and we would all do better not to take hard sides for or against people who are inclined toward one or the other. I've thought a lot about the implications of this and why personal choices and public policy aren't synonymous. I'm in favor of policies that allow a wide-range of personal freedoms to make these more conservative or liberal personal choices. Thank you for sharing this practice of yours!
