How to stay grounded amid geo-political instability

Do you feel that?

It’s the sense of geopolitical instability, creeping or launching itself into daily life.

It makes the markets all jittery, and by extension undermines the transitions needed to create a climate safe future. When the world gets chaotic, it is easy to slip into disempowerment. The feeling that we have to compromise our values to make any headway.

Stop for a second today to ask yourself, how does this feel?

If the answer is not so good – consider these facts:

1.     Share prices are fickle. Political soundbites fade into insignificance when we review long-term economic trends.

2.     The science hasn’t changed.

3.     Our human values and well-being needs have not changed.

Instead, we can view geo-political instability as an opportunity. To double down on what is important to us, and tune in to our personal values. When we stop and centre, we see what really matters. Enabling us to see much more clearly where we can have a positive impact on the world.

The social media response suggests that many of us already are. When the quiet majority tune in, it creates power and momentum for sustainable change.
