This is not the end of the story.

This is not the end of the story.
Find a way to settle yourself.
Breathe. Create. Express.
Find a way to act.
Believe. Uplift. And most of all Love.

​Calm yourself.
For me music and humor help increase my sense of joy (automatically decreasing sadness and worry).
I am making a playlist of songs with a mix of goofy and calming. Making your own will tune into what you need (if you need some inspiration, here are a few of mine: It's The End Of The World As We Know it by REM, Presidential Silver Lining by John Craigie, Let It breathe by Rob Riccardo, Bowl Of Light by Trevor Hall, Stay Alive by José González). 
When I need to remember goodness I am watching Bluey episodes, they are so innocent, real, and playful. My favorite by far is the Ice Cream episode. Find some ways to help you remember there is goodness available to you right now!

After calming comes action.
How can you make a difference today? Start with simple things: an uplifting difference in your own life or a smile to a stranger. And follow your inspirations. All our actions matter, big and small. Even when there seems to be a lack of unity in the world, you can bring unity into your life. Don't give up. Don't stop trying.
