A ride on the eco-anxiety train and a return to hope

Send us Fan MailSince February 2022, I have been on one of the most relentless rides on the eco-anxiety train. It actually surprised me to be honest, because I thought I had already done this and it wouldn’t happen again. But the ‘news shocks’ keep happening and well, it all landed with a thud. I can’t hide anything, and my friends have been reaching out, concerned for my welfare. Please be assured, I know I’ll be alright. I’ve learnt over many years that I’ve got to ride it to a conclusion and then I can get back into action AND hope. So as I am watching many many people going through exactly this, and often more broadly, just struggling with what’s going on in the wider world, I decided to share this experience. It’s not really scripted, I stumble over my words, but I’m sharing why I feel this way and what we can all do about it. I can never lose my hope. I just can’t. But it is very challenging to hold onto it sometimes. I’m hoping that by sharing my journey, it will help you to know that returning to hope is possible. The truth is, we can change the future trajectory for humanity, but we need enough of us jumping in to really make this happen. We truly are the hope we are looking for. My mission is very clear – I am working hard to convince as many as I can to get involved. Because if enough of us don’t get involved, we will not only lose, we risk a very dark future. Besides, our kids deserve all of us in this fight. I publish my Weekend Reads every Saturday here https://andreatedwards.com/ I also publish more personal content on my Uncommon Courage Website here https://uncommon-courage.com/ To get in touch with me, here I amLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreatedwards/ Twitter https://twitter.com/AndreaTEdwards Instagram https://www.instagram.com/uncommonandrea/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@uncommonandreatedwards  My professional Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheDigitalConversationalist And my Facebook Group Uncommon Courage https://www.facebook.com/groups/442905877003333My book Uncommon Courage, An Invitation mybook.to/UncommonCourageAnd the workbook mybook.to/UncommonCourageActionYou can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
