Episode #16: 1461 Days of Ignoring the Trump Administration | Jan. 18-25, 2025

Hi. It's Josh.A few days before the inauguration, I was thinking about how I wanted to deal with these next four years.I was exhausted from paying attention to the news, but I wasn’t interested in going completely uninformed. I wanted to use the “opportunity,” as I had decided to optimistically look at this timeline, to become more mindful and better train my mind to take in the “news,” and then let it fall away from my conciousness.Efficiently and totally.The other aspect of this thought was to then take the personal time I was reclaiming through this process and apply it to more creative endeavors.Like this!1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration was born.“Day 1” went viral on TikTok, so now I am in until 2029, right?!Over the initial days of this endeavor, the posts I am making have quickly mutated from improvisational “rants” into shorter “affirmations” about the personal goals I mention above.If you are also someone aspiring to become the best version of yourself, please feel free to join me on this journey, which is sure to get weird around “Day 132,” “Day 877,” and “Day 1001,” etc.Love,Josh+++1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration | Jan. 18-25, 2025>> Technical Note: YouTube links below correspond to time-stamped segments in a full-length YouTube video.

Strange for a ten year old? Yes!My writing today is governed by deadpan sarcasm that goes granular on various cultural topics that I am deeply curious about. I hope you enjoy this sometimes snarky stream of consciousness.I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™❤️ 🏳️‍🌈 ✡️ 🧘‍♂️ 🥯 🍔 🍩+++Connect with Josh: Visit me everywhere for everything at superjews.com.
