I also struggled with this in the last years. I felt overwhelmed with what is happening and thinking we need to do something and not seeing it happen left me despaired.

What helped me most was putting it (whatever it is) into perspective and decoupling what I hear about from what I feel compelled to do about it.

I am not an omnipotent being that can solve the world's problems by myself. I can only do what I can do and within the area I can control, I do what I can, using the abilities I have. Sometimes that also means not doing it, because I'm tired/exhausted/etc.

Only I can judge what I can and cannot do and that's fine.

What does that even mean

Salad wraps are daily lunch for me. Goes a bit like this, but it's really a loose recipe with whatever I have in the fridge.

1. I'll slice up some:

Salad/cucumber Tomatoes Bell pepper

2. Fry some falafel/halloumi/chicken in a small pan
3. Heat up a tortilla in another pan until it has some color, but not too much or the tortilla will break when rolled
4. Flip tortilla and add whatever cheese I have
5. Put on a plate and garnish with everything
6. Liberal amount of seasoning and hot sauce.
7. Roll up tortilla

I started doing this when I couldn't taste anything with COVID and needed something with texture. Never stopped.
