How to alleviate anxiety, despair, and fear caused by the instability of the world order?

Hello? Questioner, I can feel your anxiety. Let me give you a hug!

1.

A survey of 2,000 adults found that 72% believe life is becoming more anxious.

Too much anxiety is bad. Some anxiety is good.

2.

You're aware of your state. Awareness is the first step to change. To get rid of anxiety and worry, you need:

Take up new hobbies.

Exercise releases toxins in the body, making you look younger, healthier, and more energetic.

Go outside and enjoy the sunset.

Read more positive news and books to feel better!

3.

This is called vicarious trauma. It is when you feel bad because you feel for someone else who is in a bad situation. If you feel bad for too long, it can make you feel bad about yourself.

In severe cases, it can even lead to a mental breakdown.

4.

In the information age, we can explore the world without leaving home thanks to media reports. But this isn't always good.

Prolonged exposure to negative media can affect your emotions and health. In severe cases, it can cause vicarious trauma. People with low self-esteem or traumatic experiences are more likely to be affected.

If you feel bad, talk to your family or friends, write it down, or listen to music.

I hope you find this helpful!

I can also empathize with your concern about the state of the world. As a relatively insignificant individual, it can seem overwhelming to bear witness to the vastness of the global landscape and the myriad of conflicts that afflict it. This sentiment is not unique to you. Indeed, it is a pervasive feeling that many people experience when contemplating the future.

However, regardless of the size of the world, it is composed of individuals. While we may be insignificant as individuals, we are powerful as a collective. We are all interconnected. I have a few suggestions to help you feel better:

1. It would be beneficial to alter one's perspective on this matter. We are both individuals and part of a larger entity, not merely a small person as previously perceived. When confronted with a complex situation, the strength of the country is also a source of substantial support, and it is crucial to maintain confidence in this regard.

2. It is imperative that we live a down-to-earth life and strive to fulfill our responsibilities and obligations. It is only when each of us maintains a positive mindset, manages our emotions effectively, and lives our lives to the fullest that society can develop harmoniously and contribute to world peace.

3. It is recommended that one live in the present and experience the beauty of life with one's heart. A ray of morning sunshine and a hint of spring can evoke a sense of beauty in life.

One's state of mind and the world one perceives are inextricably linked. Despite the ordinariness and triviality of our lives, they can also be a source of happiness.

Adopting an alternative perspective on the world can engender a sense of happiness and empowerment. It is my sincere hope that you will experience peace and joy.

I am Gu Yi, and I am characterized by modesty and self-effacement, as I have always been.

In perusing your description, I discern the manner of thinking that this transformation in the world's structure evokes in you.

The relationship between the individual and the external world.

It is not uncommon for individuals to reside within the confines of their own world, directing their attention to matters that align with their interests while exhibiting a reluctance to contemplate the international situation. The awareness of this phenomenon, however, is not inherently detrimental.

In regard to the anxiety caused by our current cognitive thinking, it is imperative that we gain a correct understanding of our relationship with the world. As we are part of the world, the results of our actions will have a slight impact on the world, even if it may not be obvious. However, as the saying goes, "many a little makes a mickle," and we are interdependent.

The question thus arises as to how one might regulate the anxiety of the moment.

The general trend of the world is that that which separates must unite, and that which unites must separate. Behind every upheaval is a possibility. If there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity. There is no need for alarm.

It is imperative that we endeavor to enhance our capabilities to the greatest extent possible. Furthermore, it is crucial to cultivate a more nuanced comprehension of societal dynamics, to make more informed judgments and predictions based on evolving circumstances, and to ascertain our individual positions with greater precision.

We are all members of the same community. While we may not be able to exert influence over others through the use of power, we can regulate our own actions and inspire others through our thinking.

I wish you the best.

Dear Topic Starter, I am deeply moved by your open-mindedness. Despite our shared existence in the same world, our circumstances are starkly divergent. Fortunately, our homeland has fortified us with robust defenses against external incursions.

While many individuals express concern about the Russia-Ukraine conflict, they simultaneously experience a sense of gratitude for their circumstances in China. It is plausible that your anxiety stems from the following factors:

Your concern for people caught up in armed conflict is indicative of your capacity for empathy.

Due to your capacity for empathy, you are able to comprehend and consider the circumstances of others with relative ease, placing yourself in their position. Those facing challenging circumstances are particularly inclined to confide in you. Individuals who interact with you will feel at ease, which contributes to the positive evolution of your relationships. Healthy relationships can also enhance an individual's physical and mental well-being. When you require assistance, those who have benefited from your help or your willingness to listen will also extend a supportive hand.

It is therefore beneficial to cultivate empathy, as well as worry and anxiety. It is a fallacy to assume that individuals possess absolute good or bad qualities; rather, they play different roles in different scenarios. As long as we are adept at identifying and recognizing our own qualities and deploying them at the appropriate time, they will be advantageous to us.

The sheer volume of information being processed is overwhelming. It is asserted that attention is paid to the war on a daily basis, with a multitude of channels providing related news. However, the veracity of the information obtained from each channel is uncertain, and it is challenging to discern between true and false information.

The processing of this information stimulates our nerves on a daily basis. We engage in the activities of watching, analyzing, and empathizing, which require significant cognitive and emotional resources. After several days of such engagement, our bodies experience a sense of depletion. Once this sense of depletion sets in, the sensitivity of our physical and cognitive responses also decreases, and our mood is affected. If the whole person is tired, they are likely to experience negative emotions and feel powerless in the face of the world.

The excessive downloading of information by the brain's CPU has caused the body to overheat. It is therefore necessary to clear the cache and useless information in the brain from time to time and to allow for a gradual cooling-down period.

The optimal approach is to designate a consistent time each day for perusing war-related news and information for a duration of approximately 30 minutes. Should the desire to converse about the subject persist, and should there be an individual willing to engage in discourse about the war, such an opportunity can be pursued. The duration of the discussion should be determined in accordance with the level of participation of the other individual and one's own preferences.

The rationale for engaging in such discourse is to facilitate the expression of one's thoughts and emotions pertaining to the war. By doing so, one can gain a multifaceted perspective and a sense of emotional equilibrium, avoiding the pitfall of becoming unduly invested in one's own thoughts and feelings.

Your emotional involvement and inability to extricate yourself from the situation is evident. Your excessive focus on war-related news has caused you to disregard the present, the immediate, and the people and things around you.

Furthermore, by ignoring it, one is also foregoing a great deal of enjoyment.

It is recommended that, while paying attention to the news about the war, one should continue to attend to the activities that are part of one's daily routine, such as work, study, and leisure. It is important to engage in physical activity, even if one feels unmotivated or the activity is of minimal consequence. One should challenge oneself to become more active, and it may be helpful to start with a small, achievable goal to help one become more engaged and focused. This can help to prevent excessive focus on the war from leading to involvement and exhaustion.

Your perspective on the war is currently focused on the suffering people who are deeply involved in the war. This focus causes you to become emotionally invested in the situation, leading to feelings of fear, worry, and anxiety that you cannot escape.

It is recommended that you employ a multiplicity of perspectives to analyze and consult on this issue, including those of Eastern and Western Ukraine, Russia, China, the United States, NATO, and Europe. Altering one's perspective allows for a comprehensive view of the situation, preventing narrow-mindedness. By expanding one's horizons, one's understanding improves, one's mind is more clear, and one's heart is more rational.

It is therefore recommended that you engage in discourse with others, particularly with individuals who are not predisposed to bias in their thinking and possess a high degree of cognitive awareness. You may also choose to participate in such discussions with the aim of diversifying your own perspective, which has the potential to enhance your cognitive abilities while also facilitating a departure from excessive identification and emotional involvement stemming from a single perspective.

It is possible that your studies, work, or life in general may have recently encountered setbacks or bottlenecks. You may already feel a sense of powerlessness and fatigue, and perhaps focusing on the war became a way for you to distract yourself. It is unlikely that you expected to fall into even greater anxiety and powerlessness.

In such a case, it is imperative to undertake a detailed analysis and seek expert counsel on the issues at hand, whether pertaining to personal, academic, or professional matters.

It is appropriate to consider the impact of these issues on the lives of individuals, the broader domestic and international context, and the future of humanity. However, it is essential to recognise that life continues. It is my hope that you will soon emerge from this challenging period. May the motherland flourish and become stronger, and may there be peace in the world!

Hello, dear!

Absolutely! Every individual or human being is very small in the face of the earth, and the power of one person is very small and insignificant in the face of the world's situation.

In the beginning, we must all recognize that human power is limited and insignificant. But we can make up for that by loving the earth, revering nature, protecting the ecological environment, and loving animals and plants!

And we are also just a part of the amazing ecological environment!

Do you understand how you feel? If you feel that the future is hopeless, or even that it's heading towards destruction and death, you're not alone. Many people feel this way. But there's hope! We can live in fear, but we can't live in the future. We can only live in the present. So let's do it!

How can we still have a high motivation to achieve self-actualization?

First of all, it is very important that you can recognize that you are worrying too much and being overly anxious. And you can do this!

This can help you! You can also tell the difference that these are just your own worries, just your own thoughts and ideas. They are not the objective reality of the future that will definitely happen.

So, let's turn that around! We can build a brighter future for ourselves by dealing with our own feelings and emotions.

Oh, is the questioner someone who has studied history? Well, if they have, they'll know all about world wars! And they'll also know about other historical wars, such as World War II. And of course, they'll empathise with the harm and impact caused by war.

The amazing human body is incredible! It can withstand a lot, but it also needs to rest and recuperate. So, remember that the harm and negative impact of this kind of injury and the accumulated pressure and harm on the body and mind during our continued focus on these events will also be remembered by our bodies.

A passionate woman who used her life to record and restore the historical reality of the Nanjing Massacre, Zhang Chunru, died in the process, but her legacy lives on! She devoted her life to recording the truth of the Nanjing Massacre and restoring historical reality. She carried the suffering of the nation and the pain of war, and her efforts helped bring the truth of this tragedy to light for the Chinese people and the world.

Just as our attention to these war messages is extremely draining for us, the lasting and long-lasting impact of these traumatic imprints may exceed the limits of our own self-regulation. But don't worry! There are ways to adjust your state, return to the present, and devote more energy and time to yourself.

Now for the fun part! You can try to adjust your state so you can return to the present as much as possible, return to your real life, and devote more energy and time to yourself.

If there are some complexes that you just can't seem to open, don't worry! You can always seek help from a professional teacher.

Hello!

I'm happy to be able to give you some advice.

From what you've said, it's clear that the current international situation is pretty turbulent, which is making you feel pretty insecure and afraid. You've been watching a lot of the news and are a little worried about the analysis of the world situation. You feel anxious and don't know what to do. You even have a feeling that these things are particularly close to you, but there's nothing you can do about it. You're afraid of what changes there may be in your environment?

This also affects your overall outlook and future plans, right?

I think it's important to say that your ability to think in this way represents a significant shift in your outlook and the start of a new phase.

Maybe you didn't used to pay much attention to history. But now you watch a lot of the news, and it's happening in your own era. You feel like it's close at hand and related to you.

Yes, that's right.

We all live on the same planet, and even if we don't have close ties to our country, it's likely that people in different places are facing challenges in this turbulent situation. If you can understand this, it means that your perception, world view, and overall cognition are all improving.

So, how do we handle the helplessness, fear, and anxiety that come with the changes in your current improvement?

First, it's important to remember that we're all in different stages of improvement. Having such thoughts and changes in perception is a natural part of that process. So, don't worry too much about whether something is wrong with you. Second, given the current turbulent world situation, it's a good idea to learn more about the news. This will help us better understand the history and current situation of these countries, and enrich our life experiences. Additionally, we can try to think about the situation from another person's perspective. When we might be in such an environment, how would we feel?

What's your plan for staying safe?

Or you can look at some of the things our country is doing or some of our foreign statements to see how strong we are and how happy we are to live in China. We can have a happy and harmonious living environment today, and this is something we need to be grateful for.

Given the chaos in the world, it's important to remember that it's happening in its own time and space, not directly related to us. We need to focus on our own lives. In this vast country of China, we can achieve what we want, and some plans won't affect our normal lives.

So when we see those displaced people and those families affected by war, we can appreciate our current situation even more. So at this moment, you can start planning your life, your career, and your daily routine.

I hope you can do what you love and find your true passion. As long as you're living your life according to your heart, I believe you'll be happy and joyful no matter what happens.

I wish you all the best.

The political situation is always changing. As the country becomes stronger, it becomes more stable. You just realize that your inner peace has been disrupted.

China's modern wars show that great men can win against the odds. Despite being behind in every way, they won all the wars and made China one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The Chinese have always been stronger when there are external enemies. I believe in China's strategic foresight.

If war breaks out, we'll all have to face it together. Wars are now locally controllable.

Modern wars are different. There are humanitarian corridors for evacuation before bombing. A real war is unlikely to be ignited completely.

A big country like ours. The Russian war also took place outside Russia.

Come back to reality. That's your life. Get involved with people around you and live your own life.

As an individual, I regret it. Watching those diplomats on camera, I want to go back in time and be useful. China is breaking out, and we have to work hard to live.
