5 Mental Hacks to Help You Get through These Depressing Times
You can be okay regardless of what’s going on in the world
The world really sucks right now. Climate change will screw up the planet for generations (if not forever), the oceans may soon contain more plastic than fish, species after species is exterminated, a virus is overrunning humanity, we’re locked up under self-quarantine, politicians are criminally incompetent, and the economy is doing a nosedive towards what?
