What are some of the things you are doing to keep yourself from staying angry?
I struggle to move on from one heinous thing he does or says before he destroys something else. I’ve never been so anxious and pissed off for so long.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Because what good is getting or staying angry?
I plan on voting in the next elections. (Gee, I wonder which party I will NOT be voting for?) 
Anger creates action. I am an activist and I will fight for my country if I can. I make calls, write letters, boycott, protest, etc. My health is finally failing and I am unable to do what I would like to do and what I have been doing to stop this disaster of an administration. If I die before he is gone at least I will know I did my best. RESIST! 
*To reduce anxiety I have a wonderful little dog who is hanging in there for me (I have been told this by many people). Holding her immediately reduces my blood pressure, even if CNN is on with Breaking News.
all at the same time. Good for you!!! Stay strong and healthy. 
I know it did when I needed to deal with grief. The top of my closet is full.
I am seriously considering knitting. Just read a book. Two stitches. Knit and Pearl. But remember trying to knit a pair of socks. Did not do well.
But seriously it is a shame we have to find things to control our anger against the hate and rage we hear daily. The media needs to stop showing it. Or, we should turn it off. But it is really just background noise with a few good movies thrown in.
I read constantly, too, even at stoplights when I'm driving.
It doesn't dilute the book if I read one after another. I record each book I read in a journal. Then if I want to remember it, I can look it up on the internet and refresh my mind.
How long does it take? I can't really say but I read numerous books at one time. Some take weeks, others, days.
No, I don't feel like I'm abandoning family when I read. I often do it in their presence while they, too, are reading.
As far as sedentary, that could be a problem which I alleviate by only reading 20" at a time. I set a timer and when it goes off, I go do something active, like vacuum or pull weeds. Then I come back and read another 20" and so on.
Still work: yes. Love my work and will never quit. I'm my own boss so I control when and how much I work. Right now I have a work project that is very demanding of my skills and intellect, so at the end of every day I am excited about what I've accomplished. It could potentially be quite lucrative at some point, too, so that keeps me interested.
Is my job sedentary? Some are, some aren't. I have one job that is very physically demanding. My other jobs require a great deal of reading and writing. I use the same 20" rule with them.
Re your last sentence, same here. I enjoy that very much.
I can open a book, look at the first page, remember I read it. Speed read, but do not skip words as many do who speed read.
The time to read depends on how busy I am. I can crotchet, watch TV and read a book at the same time. My Husband once told me it was impossible. I told him I watch the program, read the book during commercials, crotchet all the time.
A habit I formed, along with friends from the time I could read when a bookmobile came to our door every two weeks. A close life long friend does the same. I have more time now, but even when busy with a family I still found time to read.
On the other hand I can not type worth a darn and I took a course
...the new era of Chad Morris Razorback football to begin.

His students and publishers did an amazing job of recording his lectures and presentations. It's wonderful that it's public domain and out there. Obviously, he would have wanted to shorten the longer game for this purpose... He is very calming and soothing. If anyone is unfamiliar with him you might want to wikipedia him before starting in on his recordings. You can study with him. Or you can sleep, relax with him as nice ambient presence.
I checked it out and plan to listen.
use part of my day to keep up on news, make phone calls, write letters, etc (get to a protest when possible) and the other part work outside... I am in the middle of painting my house and building a new porch...
the anger is always there, I do try to channel it in productive ways... sometimes it does overwhelm me 
I am very worried, scared for our Country
The law of probability says you're going to have some losers in any job now and then. Well, now we have him and the circumstances are just right for not getting rid of him until the next election. So I guess I'd have to say that I just look at him as one of the necessary evils in life. After all, if we didn't have bad, we wouldn't have good. If we didn't have short, we wouldn't have tall, if we didn't have sad, we wouldn't have happy, etc.
If the U.S. electorate thought all presidents were pretty good, then we wouldn't have any reason to vote. I'm an activist from way back and now I see more and more people engaged and active in the political process.
This doesn't mean I refrain from saying "You effing jerk" to him when he's on TV. But overall I'm calm about it.
and cooking
