MODERATORS
As another commenter already mentioned:
There is a technique I call circles of influence.
You have „close“ things you can directly influence like things in your home, „near“ things which you can indirectly influence like your friends, family and local politics. Then you have the weather which you cant influence in any significant way.
The best approach I‘ve seen myself, friends and even clients do was prioritizing close over near and forgetting about the weather.
In other words: go ahead rn and change something in a positive way which you can absolutely influence. You will feel less anxious and more in control. If you have done enough in your immediate vicinity, you will feel a lot better. Then start influencing friends and family to do the same. Dont let up. Just repeat yourself and dont bother about the weather.
I‘m doing the exact same rn with you, stranger. Have a good one.
