Gretchen, I believe your point is like doing something nice doesn't actually need to require that much time. voice-verified

And especially at a time when people feel particularly anxious about politics. voice-verified

Um, that's that's why you hear the phrase action absorbs anxiety. voice-verified

Just doing anything, even if it has nothing to do with our political scene, like picking up trash or being nice to your friends or volunteering, can just give you some you uh one of you earlier used this this term agentic. voice-verified

It gives you a sense of agency and it's yeah, it's voice-verified

It's quite powerful. voice-verified

Tip number nine, Gretchen, I'll stay with you for this. voice-verified

If you're feeling stuck. voice-verified

Lori, I mean I can imagine people hearing this and obviously it it's self evident in its wisdom in some ways, but also uh for those of us who struggle sometimes to make a decision voice-verified

On the other, it feels wise to me voice-verified

to sit in the not knowing for some period of time rather than rushing. voice-verified

The final recommendation and this one will go to you, Laurie. voice-verified

Um also counterintuitive in this age of individualism and uh tech induced isolation. voice-verified
