I often get stuck in a mindset that all the terrible news– all the callousness, misinformation, and pain drowns out everything good in the world. And I know I’m not the only one who catastrophizes in this way.I’ve found the most effective way to deal with my overwhelming negativity and fear is to actively do something nice for someone else. I try to listen and show compassion towards someone who is struggling, make a gift for a friend, or write a note of appreciation to someone who has helped me.We may not be able to right every wrong ourselves, but we can counter our fears for the world by enacting change in our own small way.“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” - Barack Obama°˖✧*•  Shop, Patreon, Book, Mailing List *•. ✧˖°` -- source link
