As someone who covered climate change a decade ago, I feel like the rest of the world is only just catching up to the following realities:

1. Avoiding truly epic amounts of climate change is technically feasible but economically and politically totally infeasible

2. Accepting that we are going to return our planet's climate to a state not seen in tens of millions of years is important. Because it's the truth. Anyone who wants to tell you differently is trying to sell you their ideology.
3. Knowing the earth is going to undergo multi-degree warming is no excuse not to decarbonize our energy system. We needed to do that anyway. And the less warming, the better.
4. Talking about really serious amounts of adaptation is not accepting defeat, it's grappling with reality. And you'd be surprised how having to actually spend money to deal with the coming warming will help people also accept (3)
5. There are no easy solutions. Geoengineering is extremely problematic. Carbon draw down of any scale is still a fantasy. We are going to have to both adapt and mitigate. Getting serious about it will probably take generational turnover in the power structures of this country.
coda: The insurance industry already understands the dynamics of climate change.

Federal flood insurance and FEMA excepted of course, since that's backed by a government that seems content to subsidize rebuilding in the path of danger.

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.
