We have little to no control over current events, yet we spend so much time breathing it in and getting outraged at every little controversy. It's a slow-moving trainwreck, and I can't look away.
I'm so envious of the people I know who just don't give a fuck.
I've tried more hobbies and entertaining distractions, but I'm left feeling empty and joyless. Meditation helps, but then I'm right back where I started.
Anyone got any tips?
Working out helps for me personally, just recently started running again after a 3 year break and it clears my head really nicely.
Or just go on a walk with some music on, or some comedy podcast.
Do bodyweight exercises, or buy a cheap kettlebell and work out without going to gym. Contrary to popular belief you don't need to spend days at a gym to get results either, hell just moving weights around will get gains if you've never done anything like it before.
Don't forget that you're not alone in this, even if it feels dire at times.
