Eat And Drink
This is your moment of rest and feeding. You may need this rest and enough food to prepare yourself for the unknown in Nigeria.
Employ Escapism
This works every time. Why not imagine yourself in 1960 when things were alright in Nigeria? Envision yourself walking on the streets of Nigeria and it is like paradise and gold is 10 Naira. Whether you were born then or not, escape into that realm of possibility now.
Watch K-drama
Since it is only in Korean dramas that there is law and order and the authorities are always coming through for their citizens, watch a few episodes and use that one to hold your body.
Hold Your Chest And Repeat ‘God Abeg’ Seven Times
Immediately anxiety starts kicking in, place your hand on your chest and repeat God Abeg seven times. Repeat this every time a state’s result is about to be announced.
Clean Your House
It’s enough that the country is a mess already, why not take this time to arrange a few things in your home as you wait for the results?
Read That Book You’ve Been Putting On Hold
Take a deep breath and pick up that book and read it. It is time, dear.
Drink Chamomile Tea And Read Some Self-Affirmations
