Also working for @time_for_kindness has really helped me keep focused on the kind and wonderful things people do every day and to actively notice those things, not just write them off as expected or ignore them to focus on the bad.

Thank you for starting this thread

Everything everybody else has said so far:
Being outside
Music
Spending time with like-minded people
Rewilding the garden
Reading
Silence
Writing (poetry, a novel - whatever grabs you)
Any kind of art or a craft
Walking

Also, it’s okay to tune out news of the larger world for a while. It’ll still be there when you get back. Act locally. Fix things. Bake a cake and share it.

„…it is right to do what we can. To slow the change. To reduce the harm. To save what we can. To invite us back to sanity and love.“

1. Reducing my harm on the planet and others as much as I can -- through everyday choices and through language use.
2. Having gentle discussion with people who may not have as much information as I do or who have accepted society's conditioning not to speak about certain topics.
3. Amplifying the voices of people who are doing good work in spaces that need those voices.
4. Listening, reading, being aware, and learning about other people's experiences.
5. Donating when possible.
6. Though it is not always possible, trying to make choices that avoid putting money in the pockets of billionaires and adding to their power and notoriety.
7. Self-development. A lot of self-development work in order to be able to do all of the above more effectively.
8. "Keeping it human" -- focusing on what makes us human, connected, fulfilled, whole, and beautiful individually and collectively.

Basically, I have tried to become very aware of and define my values and stick to them as much as possible even when the crowd says, "You're doing it wrong."

Thank you for starting this thread. I'm looking forward to others' responses!
