In these hours of unbearable temperatures, when we are chaining heatwaves and forest fires, it becomes more evident than ever that if we do not want to succumb to vital anguish, it will be better to accept that the emergency has become the new normal. And that as important as survival kits is psychologically accepting this reality. I think it would help:
–Never take plans for granted and accept cancellations with maturity. It affects morale, but it is still a problem of a developed and peaceful world.
–Rethink the calendar and destinations for holidays. Likewise, adjust your schedule of obligations as much as possible. With this heat, one cannot always live a normal life.
–Accept the force of atmospheric phenomena and associated disasters, such as fires. They have such a great devastating potential that even the Bombers de la Generalitat, who have developed very precise prediction models, have had to change their fire-fighting strategies.
–Visualize the discomfort of being a victim and stop to think about how we and our family would react in case of evacuation or confinement. The calm that saves lives (and that does not make things more difficult) is trained.
–Do not dedicate energy to arguing with climate change deniers.
–Remember economical ways to cool off from our parents, based on common sense and savings.
All these points are summarized in two: do not get overwhelmed and admit that we live in a climate of extremes that has changed the world of our childhood, so that nothing is as it was before.
