March's ForUUm is about the ways we stay hopeful!
We all feel obliged to stay informed about current affairs, but doing this can give you an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. Is this by design? Can we overcome negativity bias in the media? Do the incentives of capitalism make that impossible?
Why are activism and community building good for mental health? How do you maintain our sense of inner peace while staying informed enough to be effective?
Let’s fight doomerism by sharing the ways we stay hopeful when the world is not so great.
