Believe it or not, whenever I feel like I am just completely out of shits to give and I start dooming or get anxious about the rate of the Awakening, I go out and find some random person in a public setting and just do something nice for them. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but some interaction that I help someone with something or give out a compliment. Leave a handwritten note about how good of service I have received or tell someone that their smile made my day. The brightening of the day seems to work for both of us and I feel better about the prospects for humanity. Simple small acts of kindness and making a tiny personal connection to some random person always makes me feel like I did when I was a kid. I don't know if it will work for others, but I have been on both sides of the exchanges and it always makes me feel better.
