These are the mental preparation and education steps taken from the book The Future We Choose, by Tom Rivett-Carnac and Christiana Figueres.
Right Now
- Take a deep breath and decide that collectively we can do this, and that you will play your part. You will be a hopeful visionary for humanity through these dark days. From this moment, despair ends and tactics begin.
Today or Tomorrow
- Think big. How do you most impact climate change, and what big things can you do to effect a regenerative future?
This Week
- Go outside and look around. This world is damaged and hurting, but it is also beautiful and intact and whole. Pay attention to something you have forgotten – emerging leaves in the spring or frost on dead leaves in winter. Feel the gratitude we owe the Earth for her bounty and beauty.
This Month
- Start a mindfulness practice, perhaps a breathing exercise of gratitude. Do it every day, if only for a few minutes. Learn to create a gap of light between yourself, the world and your reactions.
- Understand your privilege in relation to others, and commit to helping level the playing field for all.
By 2030
- Continue to practise the other new habits you have developed.
