Sunday thought: The importance of taking care of yourself

Source: Robert Reich (Substack)

April 6, 2025

But in the age of Trump, we need to stop thinking about anxiety as a “disorder” and start seeing it as a rational response to the disorder created by Trump and his regime. If we weren’t anxious by what’s happening, we’d be disordered.

It’s rational to be terrified by what Trump and Musk are doing, horrified by the cruelty and brutality of this regime, frightened by its misogyny and racism and nationalism.

These aren’t personal anxiety disorders. Trump, Musk, and their cronies are disordering America and the world.

Time out for your loved ones. Time out for play. Time out for joy. Time out to dance or sing. Time out to do absolutely nothing.
