‘He’s realizing that he could lose’: the Trump campaign is panicking
The mood couldn’t be more different among the staffers accompanying the two presidential candidates, Andrew Feinberg reports
Harris’s people are confident. The Trump campaign is panicking
God, I hope they know something we don't. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Or throw up.

Box breathing involves four basic steps, each lasting 4 seconds:
- breathing in
- holding the breath
- breathing out
- holding the breath
It takes some getting used to, so you’ll be distracted at first having to concentrate on your breathing.
I also like to meditate by emptying my mind and thinking about a giant, unlit room with a spotlight on a chair that I’m sitting in. Whenever my mind wanders to anywhere but there, I force myself to bring it back and only think about me sitting in that chair. I’m neither happy, sad, nor mad. I’m just existing in the chair; breathing and existing.
And if all else fails: don’t panic. Grab a towel and stick your thumb out. Maybe you’ll get lucky and catch a ride on a Vogon ship. And most importantly, “On no account allow a Vogon to read poetry at you.”

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!
What a smashing rendition of vogon poetry! Bravo!
I had this printed in very pretty script on my cubicle once upon a time XD
If you struggle to visualise, just focus on your breathing. When you notice you are distracted bring it back to your breathing. Acknowledge where your mind drifted but try not to dwell on it as you focus back.
There are also apps available to help with breathing exercises. I had one that showed a balloon inflating and deflating. I found it easier to focus on that at first.
Counting while you box breath can also make it easier. The count can be whatever you're comfortable with. 5 5 5 5 works well for me.
