With Lent starting today, I'm going to be trying to do (and not do) a few things. I'm trying to keep these as things I think I can reasonably manage:

1) Avoid news as much as is possible. I've already been doing this, but I'm going to put some extra effort in it for Lent. It's not that I don't care about world events, particularly as they affect noncis/nonhet folks like myself, but as far as I can tell there's actually very little I can personally do about them. I can as angry and horrified as posible at Texas for targeting the loving parents of trans kids instead of going after abusive ones, but I can't do anything to actually stop it.

2) Meditate more. Mostly through walking and in parks when possible.

3) Focus on acts of kindness, spread good news, and be a source of positivity. Again, this is something I've been trying to do but will make extra effort for Lent. Bad news is not that hard to find, nor people who are negative. I want to be more positive. Not because I'm unaware of all the negatives out there, but because it's important to keep up hope.
