We belong to each other: Thoughts on community. Accept the severity of the predicament -- Be with uncertainty -- Honor my mortality and the mortality of all -- Do inner work -- Develop awareness of biases and perception -- Practice gratitude, seek beauty, and create connections -- Take breaks and rest -- Grieve the harm I have caused -- Show up -- Reinvest in meaningful efforts -- Outro and onward.
"The challenges facing our earth can feel overwhelming-recent research shows that more than 70% of Americans are worried about climate change and 51% say they feel helpless. Among millennials and Gen Z the numbers are even higher. How to Keep Your Cool While the World Is On Fire offers ten steps to help nourish, ground, and inspire anyone who is worried about climate change. Filled with exercises and reflection questions, the steps help readers process grief, uncertainty, and painful emotions, while also looking towards where we can make positive changes-in both big and small ways. Laura Schmidt and Aimee Lewis-Reau started the Good Grief Network, one of the first emotional support groups for eco-anxiety and climate grief. There are now chapters all over the world following these same ten steps - and these steps can help you too. They draw on wisdom and mindfulness practices, as well as the work of longtime activists like Joanna Macy. The steps encourage a heart-centered revolution and reconnection with ourselves, our communities, and our planet"-- Provided by publisher.
