What are some creative ways to make a positive difference without over- or under- reacting?

 What can i do to help the people I love...


be healthy, happy, and relatively safe, and still be able to make our positive contributions to the world?

To de-escalate conflict, I can de-emphasize 'punishment' and 'justice' while instead focusing on
'Restorative Justice', and 'Community Healing';

This may involve;

-Encouraging transitions to ethical, worthwhile, sustainable, legitimate businesses, as ILLEGITIMATE businesses and practices
DECLINE, or
STOP ALTOGETHER.

-Helping heal the roots of poverty and economic and political injustice

-learning, modelling, and sharing healthy community practices and community creation;
including good communication and interpersonal skills, and effective ecological and social design

-learning how to help people in distress, and helping the healing process
 (for whole communities and every person in a relationship, not simply the one defined as most 'victim')

-create community self-sufficiency and self-determination

When I encounter problems, I will remember that:

People are on their own journeys, and its not fair for me to police the rest of the world
(to me or them)
nor is it my responsibility.

I will breathe and be mindful, allowing myself to perceive IF I should intervene in a situation, and allow my mind and spirit and heart and body to be open to in what way I will best serve and be present in that moment.

Even if is simply by being present and witnessing, praying, bringing humour or giving empathy, I will embrace the opportunity to serve and grow.

I will let the problem go when my time with it has passed.
