- Recognising this clash helps explain denial fatigue and emotional exhaustion.
Sense Before You Act
- Shift from 'fixing the world' to sensing and responding in the present moment.
- Prioritise grounded, present awareness over trying to foresee or control distant outcomes.
Practice Proximity-Based Caring
- Practice '15-foot revolution' by caring deeply for your immediate sphere of influence.
- Tend locally because small, proximate actions create meaningful ripples outward.
