Practice mindfulness. Be present in the moment, focus on your breath, and try not to get caught up in worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Accept things as they are in the present.

• Accept your own limitations. Focus on what you can control rather than what you can't. Don't try to take on more than you can handle - know your own capabilities and capacity.

• Be the change you want to see. Set a positive example through your own actions and behavior. Treat others with compassion and kindness. Promote peace and understanding in your daily interactions.

• Find meaningful ways to make a difference, starting small. Volunteer for a cause you care about. Help and connect with people in your own community. Look for small ways you can contribute positively rather than feeling overwhelmed by global issues.

• Take care of your mental and physical health. Eat healthy, exercise, get enough sleep, find time to relax and recharge. This will give you the strength and resilience to deal with challenges.

• Connect with others. Spend time with family, friends, join groups - we cope better when we have a network of support. But also look outwards and try to understand different perspectives.

• Limit consumption of negative news if it gets too overwhelming. Stay informed but don't become engulfed.

The key is focusing your energy on what you can control, taking one day and one action at a time. Living meaningfully and purposefully, despite surrounding chaos.

Peace,
