๐งต#SudanStressTips: Reducing the chronic stress of daily life as much as possible is important for overall health.
1. Make time for movement.๐๐พ Wait for the crossfire to end & avoid checkpoints and roaming militias. Better yet, don't move; meditate while sheltering in place.๐ง๐พ
2. Set boundaries between your work & your personal life.๐งฑ Reinforce them with sand bags. Consider getting a guard dog.๐โ๐ฆบ
3. Connect with people you care about. These may be people who own a generator or people with fuel to run a generator. Barter with food.๐

๐คฃ Laugh at the colonialism of Western powers who talk about respect for human rights & the dignity of all people & then evacuate their mostly White diplomats in the night while leaving Sudanese national staff behind without food or medicine or Internet or power. #SudanStressTips
