To ask for some positivity for the future

[CarryOnNurse20]

I feel I need this sometimes to combat the negativity that is sometimes perpetuated on mumsnet.
I understand there’s so much shit going on. Brexit, covid, rising gas prices and obviously climate change. So much hideous stuff. I also know there are so many people out there doing so much good to deal with all these different challenges.
I find especially since having children the constant negative messaging in the media can cause a lot of guilt, stress and upset. The last 2 years has been traumatic for me personally as a mother to a newborn and then back into nursing in a covid environment.
Please can anyone who has any words of positivity please share them? For any reason, how you cope with the stress, anything really. I want a thread I can look at on the bad days.
Thanks.

Bump. Anyone?

How you spend your days is how you spend your life

We take each day as it comes. I cherish and enjoy every moment I can with my DH and DC. We laugh together watching YouTube, we go for walks in the park, and eat delicious food.

I cannot change what is coming in the future, but I can enjoy the here and now.

I think you just have to live what it is. I grew up thinking we were all going to die in a neulear war. Then aids cane and we were all going to .plus the hole in the onzone layer. Then loads of drama before 2017 recession....l can't even remember the rest but you know what me and my now grown kids are still here. There will always be a crisis .. although l could never have predicted a pandemic...just live your life and don't worry about the rest

I think there's a huge amount of pressure online to be constantly considerate of others. While that's necessary, you don't need to put others before yourself. Worrying about the latest tragedy in the news or what may lie ahead in terms of brexit won't get you anywhere.

There's no need to regret what's happened and you don't want to look back at your life and know all you did was worry about the future. Cut out as much shit as you can from your life- bad friends, shit news apps etc. And focus on the good parts.

Thanks all 💕
