WHEN THE WORLD FEELS UNSAFE AND BROKEN

Anxiety, depression, and mental health, issues are reaching an all-time high these days.
 
There are multiple reasons and explanations for why this is, but one of the contributing factors surely is the state of the world as well as our daily interactive experience with it.
 
As a certified hypnotist, I help people to feel better and to reach and achieve goals that will.
bring about life fulfillment through reaching their personal and professional potential.
 
Anxiety and fear about navigating a toxic world that often feels unsafe remains something that a lot of people want help with.
 
Though we may fight to change and improve the world, it's obvious that no one individual can ever bring about the change that's needed. The change has to come from the collective.
 
And collective change takes time.
 
I wanted to bring up five important things to remember whenever it fills as though the world is toxic, unsafe and about to come apart at any moment.
 
1. This is nothing new. Humans have not changed and we tend to deal with the same issues over and over. These same issues tend to change on the surface level, but at their core we have dealt with this before, and often in worse circumstances.
 
2. It feels more terrifying because of the speed of information and the monetized hyper focus on fear-causing news. Thanks to the magic of the internet and the constant presence of social media, we now have an almost god-like omnipresence where we can hear about the tiniest
thing that happens in the most remote places in the world.
 
When you combine this with the fact that the media and algorithms are designed to grab onto anything that induces fear, paranoia, anxiety, horror, and dread, you have a concoction for a constant maddening stream of violence, negativity and terror.
 
No wonder our mental health is degrading.

3. It is still a great time, the best in my opinion, to be in this world. I personally can name a million worst times to be on earth. I am a Black woman of color living in what is arguably the most racist nation in the modern world. Almost every bit of my nation’s history was a single-minded attempt to destroy people’s bodies, souls, dignity and happiness.
 
But I will say that I would still rather be here, in the 21st century, then in any other time and place. And in fact, though I’ve often cried with anguish, fear and pain over the senseless violence and our government’s refusal to protect us, I also have broken down with wonder and gratitude that I have been born when and where I was. To me, both are true.
 
Now, obviously there's a lot that needs to be done. And we should still do that work and never stop. But it’s so important to also occupy a space of gratitude for the immense gifts that we have that came out of the work of those who have come before us.
 
4. Challenge is part of our earthly experience. Even if you aren't a straight up woohoo, spiritual person, like I am, I believe that we are all here to overcome challenge.
 
There is actually a philosophical movement called Stoicism that is really built around fully accepting challenge as an integral part of our experience and our growth.
 
The fact is, the way the world is has always been the state of the world.

Uncertainty. Calamity. Conflict. Wildness. Unpredictability. Violence. Cruelty.

These are parts of the earthly experience. They have always been parts of the earthly experience and they will always be parts of the earthly experience. I personally believe We can reduce it, but I believe it will always exist.
 
In order to reduce it, we need to do so as a collective, and that is what we are working on as a society. But no one person can make these changes by themselves at once. All social change must come from the collective, and collective change takes time. But in the meantime, it's important to remember that everything that you want that exists now, alongside everything that appears broken and frightening.
Beauty. Joy. Happiness. Contentment. Desire. Love. Abundance. Enlightenment. All of these exist too and are also very very much a part of the earthly experience.
 
Both the light and the dark, the wanted and the unwanted and everything in between exists right now.
 
When you can't change and eradicate one, it's important to embrace and focus on the other.

5. The best revenge you can ever have is to thrive, to have joy and to celebrate life, yourself and each other. After all, the ultimate goal of any terror campaign is to steal your joy, your happiness and your peace

Don't let anyone or anything steal your joy in your life, your beautiful body and your power and potential.
