Of all the things going on in world and also locally, from housing crises, economic instability, climate crisis etc.
How does one not fall into nihilism and just general despair? Are texts out there that teach and talk about how to hold grit and optimism in times like these?
TL;DR Help I don’t want to be a doomer :(
Came to say this, plus work on being mentally healthy daily. Resting my eyes, whether I’m sleeping or not has facilitated that, in addition to walking, helping neighbors when needed, petting the fur babies, getting enough sleep, choosing the healthier food as often as possible. These little things add up!
Also I actually read a fictional historical novel recently, and that was nice.
Can you tell me what the novel is?
