Climate anxiety is becoming more and more widespread. Taking direct positive action can help you cope with your eco-anxiety while helping to address the climate emergency.
Climate anxiety is not a pathology but a healthy response to a real threat. Inaction is related to feeling powerless whereas action is about taking control.
My team of social psychologists recently surveyed over 1,200 people in collaboration with charity GlobalGiving UK. This research focused on eco-anxiety and other drivers of donations to provide disaster relief for climate-related disasters.
So, if you want to act but don’t know where to start, here are three ways to make a tangible positive impact while helping to manage your anxiety:
1. Donate to climate charities
You can channel your anxiety into action by helping those impacted by climate-related disasters, for example through donating to climate-related causes.
2. Make environment top priority at work
Advocate for positive climate action more widely. Let your employer know that you and your colleagues expect them to have a strong environment, social and governance (ESG) agenda.
3. Share your worries and amplify solutions
Amplify your mission by talking to others about your climate-related worries. Sharing worries is a powerful tool for managing them. Sharing concerns can help you find others who have similar fears, which will ease the pressure. There is comfort in community, solidarity and in knowing that you are not alone with your worries.

This is nothing more than asinine psychological “struggle sessions” used to brainwash prisoners in Mao’s Laogai concentration camps.
Literally the money quote.
That makes no sense.
Really…. what are you talking about?
