Thanks for sharing those suggestions from the American Psychological Association. It's really good to be reminded that we can take steps toward feeling more empowered.
This made me feel not so alone, so thank you for that.
It also makes me sad that so many of us are feeling this way. Part of me doesn't even want to acknowledge that because I don't want to multiply that feeling.
But we should acknowledge it. Life is hard, and we're exposed to so much more than we were built to handle. So big props to all of us for getting through it.
Now let's get through it with more intention—taking responsibility for what is ours; remembering to take care of ourselves (self-care is crucial); envision the best possible scenarios and see what we can do to make them happen.
I’m doing a lot of work on this topic with my clients too. It’s important to honor. For me, focusing on what I can control-myself-is pivotal. It doesn’t mean ignoring what’s going on in the wider world; it means making the day to day impact I can. Affirming others existence. Coaching such a mindset. And, like you, getting out for hikes or walks (with my pup) truly does ground me!
Yes, I'm feeling it too.

Thanks, Wendi. I needed that. :)
