Coping with feelings of helplessness

Focus on what you can control.

It may be small at first, just one day of walking in nature instead of being on screens.

One choice to make something yourself vs buying it.

5 minutes of meditating with the goal of seeing yourself as the whole, worthy and lovable person that you are and that the problems with society have nothing to do with your value.

One day off social media!

Acknowledging the things we can’t change on our own, allowing those feelings to be real and painful but directed appropriately can make a huge difference. Are you ‘failing’ or are there more influences at play? That feeling alone can be terrifying as we acknowledge the outside, the past, the world we live in. While also hoping for better, more just future. When you feel strong enough in this circle widen it. Be part of the change. But for now, just start small and be gentle with yourself.
