I enjoy documentaries where the footage comes from people who are shooting without a very good reason to be doing so. Top picks are likely:
Very different reasons I liked these. And liked is maybe the wrong word for Grizzly Man.
Would love to suggestions of similar if anybody in this thread has favs.
Dig this a lot. Also, looks like they received a grant from FUTO last month.
Omnivore has been great so far for me. And Obsidian integration is flawless
I have heard it simplified as “what goes in, must come out”. If you are experiencing high stress without processing the stress, it will create problems for you physically. However if you are able to integrate stressful experiences mentally/emotionally, you wouldn’t experience adverse effects. So it’s really a matter of whether you hold onto stress or not. That said, I think anybody who is able to manage stress effectively and with a great deal of understanding is also going to be actively working to minimize their exposure to stress to what they know they can reasonably handle. There are other factors as well, such as the quality of your diet, the type of community surrounding you, etc. The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté addresses a lot of this type of thing for anybody curious about how things are linked. Also some good videos on YT if you don’t want to read the whole book haha.
Echoing solarpunk! Along those same lines is “hopepunk”. I like to think of my media consumption in a similar way to my diet and consider how much I need from different areas to stay balanced. It is hard to fully escape the doomerism narratives but seeking out generative, hopeful narratives has made a difference in how much I find myself disrupted by them. Also poetry can be a great way to explore the heavier subjects and often where I head when I get overwhelmed.
