    This reminds me of something I was commenting about yesterday.

    Focus on your immediate environment first, and make your little corner of the world better before you worry about saving the universe.

    And like you said, it is a habit and mindset thing. If you plant a tree in your yard or in your community, no it will not save the rain forest, but your mental health and physical health and living conditions will all be slightly better off than they were before it.

    If you start intentionally working in these positive actions that provide tiny incremental improvements, before you know it you may be feeling more than incrementally better.

      If you start intentionally working in these positive actions that provide tiny incremental improvements, before you know it you may be feeling more than incrementally better.

      some of those positive actions and changes can be really fun, too. sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you’re going to enjoy something before you dive into it, especially when the brain is in misery mode.
