I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity (lemmy.world)

I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that's it. I don't think I'm depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).

I don't know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.

Ideally, outside, in nature. This too has been shown to have mental health benefits. Go walk in the woods.

Honestly nothing brings me back down to earth and resets (almost) all my stress and worries like spending time in a forest

Trees are awesome they deserve so much more respect, theyve been around for so much longer than us just chilling making oxygen and a habitat

Spotting wildlife is also entertaining

The sound is critical for me, pure nature noises, no human geberated crap like cars or yelling or construction or whatever

Nature is extremely unhurried which is so radically opposite of almost every aspect of modern life that it's like finally get a breath of air to be able to immerse yourself in a setting that isn't manically trying to get your attention.
