[103] “I GET SO OVERWHELMED”


Listen Later

In the Knackered Mums Eco Clubhouse, lovely Julia recently posted this:

"Just wondering how you all cope with not doing it all and not all at once. I get so overwhelmed with the differing things I could be doing it seems like nothing actually gets done."

Oh wow. I can relate to this - can you?

I'm super aware of just how overwhelming it is to think about the climate crisis, and I think it's something that maybe stops lots of us getting started and taking action.

And then when we do start, when we open the can of worms, we can often wish we hadn't as it can very quickly feel even MORE overwhelming!
So many things to think about that we hadn't really considered before, so many different opinions and options, so many things we apparently 'should' be doing.

The climate crisis IS overwhelming.
It's the biggest issue facing us as a humanity.
The choices we make today will impact the earth and it's inhabitants for generations to come.
And we're running out of time.

No pressure then...
Here are my top tips for dealing with (climate) overwhelm...

Enjoy!
