When changes come that seem ugly or unfounded, the way we deal with that change is a choice. We can be afraid and stand in bewilderment and outrage at what is happening to us and the world we’ve come to know, which causes a lot of dissonance, stress, anxiety and depression. 

Every morning we wake to bad news, pressure to start a new school year, pressure to get to that meeting on Zoom or in person, pressure to help bring in more money, pressure is in our lives every day.

How do I improve myself is a person specific question. There’s no quick recipe for self-improvement. It’s not a malady but a personal desire to change. The person may also have a mental illness that’s not properly managed, an addiction or even feel suicidal. Definitely not a question to be taken lightly with a quick quip.
