I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that’s it. I don’t think I’m depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).
I don’t know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.
First and foremost I can suggest meditation. You don’t have to personally save the world, do what you can when you can and that’s enough, honestly more than enough. I can suggest figures like Pema Chodron and Ram Dass, they’ve been extremely helpful for me in extreme moments of life. I think Pema’s book Welcoming the Unwelcomed is pure gold.
Also don’t mind taking a break from it all. The world will keep on ticking. One day the sun will run out of fuel and vaporize the earth, one day the last star will go dark, one day the last black hole will evaporate. Nothing is forever besides change. That’s not to say it’s all pointless, more so to say enjoy it and if you can even enjoy the unpleasant things along with the pleasant ones.
