Finding Hope When Things Feel Gloomy
/We crave hope in the midst of so much uncertainty and mental health crises.
This NY Times article describes hope as a "psychological stabilizer" and an "action-filled process".
Tips that I appreciate:
1). Keeping track of micro-progressions (small ways that move me forward)
2). Making a hope-kit to remind myself of what motivates me
3). Consider "what is still true?"
I'd also add that actively grounding myself in my body helps cultivate a sense of agency.
What are you doing to make hope an "action-filled process" right now?
