<\/a>\nThe world is restless and chaotic.\u00a0How do you deal with that without losing yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world has been restless for decades, of course, especially if you regularly check the news. But two foundations under our societies are changing faster and faster: technology and ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology is improving at an exponential rate \u2013 the ecology is actually deteriorating faster and more visibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It creates a lot of turmoil in the world \u2013 and then in ourselves<\/strong> . Because the acceleration of these two factors, among others, leads to enormous economic and geopolitical changes and crises that we see unfolding before our eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Violent developments seem to follow each other in rapid succession. It sometimes feels like we’ll never get ‘a break’ from just living our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are no longer in an\u00a0era of change<\/em>\u00a0but in\u00a0a change of era<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have left the relatively stable ‘post-war’ world behind us. We are now well on our way to a new balance. And in the meantime we experience chaos, turmoil and uncertainty<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exciting \u2013 even scary at times \u2013 and incredibly insecure.\u00a0What do we do with that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter what’s happening in the world – you still have to load the dishwasher. And as far as I’m concerned, this is a great way to look at the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You usually have virtually no control over world events<\/strong> . We are here with billions of people of which you are only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What can you do about a pandemic? What can you do about wars, about climate change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are always steps you can (and maybe should) take. But your influence is always limited. And it’s important to realize that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t have to save the world<\/strong> . And you can’t save the world. It’s not just your world \u2013 it belongs to all of us. It is therefore also our joint responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What can you do if you feel overwhelmed by world events?\u00a0Here are things that work well for me \u2013 and many blogzynergy.com readers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breathe in slowly and relax completely.\u00a0The restlessness of the world need not make you restless<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0It is possible and allowed, but it\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0not necessary.\u00a0You don’t control what happens around you \u2013 but you can control how you deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By making it clear to yourself what you do have control over, you will quickly reduce anxiety.\u00a0Make your world smaller again and focus on practical steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think is important? Which values \u200b\u200bwould you like to ‘live’? What do you want to stand for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we feel anxious, we quickly withdraw into a defensive position. You may prefer to curl up with a nice series, a bag of chips and a comfortable dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know I feel that tendency in myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s okay \u2013 but it’s probably not who you want to be. It’s not the life you face<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n It takes courage to live your values \u200b\u200bin exciting times. But you can practice with it step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re going to fail<\/strong> at this all the time \u2013 that goes for all of us, including me. But it is valuable to stay close to yourself, especially in troubled times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because times will remain restless for the time being<\/strong> . So if you don’t do it now – when? Back straight, head up. Be brave and live in the way that satisfies you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Move away from fear and anxiety<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Live your values \u200b\u200b\u2013 so you can inspire others to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever happens \u2013 tomorrow the sun will rise again. Life goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily be paralyzed by undesirable events in the world. But does that make sense if you can’t control it anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a life to live<\/strong> . So just do what needs to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loading the dishwasher, for example. But also take care of yourself and \u2013 very important \u2013 take care of others. Because heaven and earth can tremble \u2013 we are only in real trouble when we lose sight of ourselves and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you feel anxious, then so do others. Perhaps you can offer a listening ear. Maybe you can cheer someone up. Maybe you can make someone else’s life a little easier or more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe together you can provide a welcome distraction from all the misery in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may ask yourself, \u201cHow can I contribute? How can I offer the most value right now?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You cannot control the world. But you can choose to add a little more love, a little more attention and a little more compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you know how it works: societies are made up of people. Trade fear for love, and you’ve actually made society a little more loving<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspire others by living your values \u200b\u200band your influence will increase even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bigger the chaos, the simpler the solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sounds cheesy, but that’s the way it is. It works \u2013 that’s especially important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope I was able to make your day a little brighter with these handles<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The world will not become less chaotic any time soon.\u00a0So it’s up to us to find ways to stay close to ourselves \u2013 even when the waters are choppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take it Easy! Control Yourself and your love ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world is restless and chaotic.\u00a0How do you deal with that without losing yourself? Unrest is the new norm The world has been restless for decades, of course, especially if you regularly check the news.
