I agree, there has never been a more stressful time in human history. And in the West we are not equipped to deal with it. But your advice here is solid. So many people struggle with making things habit. I think the key is to just keep showing up, even when you don't feel like it.
I think this is really great advice, however, I think the scope of meditation really needs to be widened. There are many people who cannot sit in meditate, including people on the spectrum. Doing artwork, doodling, cooking, can also be meditative practices. The most important thing is to disengage the mind.
This is a fountain of wisdom in dealing with the inevitable stress on an ever-warming planet. This seems like good advice no matter what stage of stress and grief processing you find on your journey.
For me, these habits are more about improving how we think and feel about things as they happen in real time. How we "deal" with them. Doing these habits has helped me be more resilient when situations do arise. I think we can learn from cultures who've already been living in their own apocalypse for centuries as well.
I guess no one can argue that movement is good but meditation is often not a relaxing experience infact it can, in my experience, be quite unhinging. And writing, it annoys the hell out of me. It's only slightly less annoying than reading 😂.
Maybe this sort of catchy advice can help some people but I feel weary of this kind of proclamation offering a simple panacea especially about a situation that often induces profound despair hahah.
I find the guided meditation helps (music and prompts), particularly thinking about now, either the day ahead, or the day behind. It’s useful if you have thoughts/feelings you want to bolster in your daily life. Again, this is the minimum effort for maximum return. There are also meds and therapy and all sorts of additional work to do, but getting started is the problem for me and many others. This is part of the idea in CBT of one thing at a time, one day at a time.

Keep going
Love these frameworks. Remember, they only work if we work them
Sounds like something Bill would say. :-)

No opinions
People who are Neurodiverse need to do things differently. We’re not built like neurotypical. It’s not an opinion. It’s an established fact.

Kinda hard to heal from trauma when traumatic events keep happening. 😕

I agree, and the hackneyed phrase presents itself, 'to each his own.' But I do believe it's important for each of us to 'find' our own.
