Eco-Anxiety : All you need to about

-
■ Eco Anxiety:---(upsc )
-Eco-anxiety or climate anxiety has been described by the American Psychological Association in 2017 as "a chronic fear of environmental doom" but is not designated as a specific condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
• Eco-anxiety is anxiety about ecolo gical disasters and threats to the natural environment such as pollution and climate change. Variations to the definition exist such as the broader description  explaining it as the "worry or agitation caused by concerns about the present and future state of the environment.

•Anxiety about ecological disasters and threats.
• “worry or agitation caused by concerns about the 
present and future state of the environment.”

• Unable to reverse the crisis.
•It is also the sense that no matter how hard we 
work, nothing will ever be enough.
•We know the deteriorating climate is affecting our 
health.

• Swedish schoolgirl
Greta Thunberg, who started the 
school strike for climate, warned to be extremely 
concerned about the matter: “…I don’t want you to be 
hopeful, I want you to panic.
• When she was younger, she fell into a depression and 
she has claimed that this was because of her worries 
about climate change.

• Adults are panicking because they are unable to now comprehend the right measure of response to the scale of the challenge.
• People are getting affected by the feeling of frustration and loss and are immensely worried about their children and future generations.

■ Solutions for developing anxiety over climate change:
• Relaxation exercises .
• Make climate change an integral and crucial factor in 
our lifestyle habits and consumption patterns.
 • Environmental impact should be given equal priority.
 • Although the situation cannot be avoided but it is 
preventive and controlled through measures and 
counselling.

■ Managing eco-anxiety:----
 It is also a relatively new concept. While there is evidence that extreme weather events may directly harm mental well-being, the picture is less clear when it comes to anxiety caused by an awareness or understanding of environmental issues. One of the few clues is a 2018 Yale University report that suggested that about 21 per 
cent of people in the US say they are “very worried” about global warming.

■ Management :-------
 Live more in alignment with your values .
• Give your home an energy health check .
• Cut back on flying, especially if you are a frequent flyer. 
• Don’t feel ashamed .
• Focus your efforts on changing systems, not yourself 
• Find like-minded people. 
• Protect and nurture local green spaces .
• Talk about the changes you make.
•Engage with solutions not statistics 
• Understand that it’s not all or nothing. 
• Re-frame your influence. 
•Practice blind optimism. 
•Know that everything is interconnected.

■ How to identify eco-anxiety----
• Do you feel worried about severe rises or falls in 
temperature? 
• Do you find yourself worrying about heavy rainfall and flood? 
• Do you find yourself worrying about worst-case scenarios if 
you do something that isn't 
considered environmentally friendly, like using plastics, 
wasting water or using chemicals? 
• Do you find yourself imagining a series of future events that 
lead toward a negative climax of the world ending and the 
survival of human beings becoming impossible on Earth? 
• Do you relate to movies like Interstellar and feel the need to 
find another habitat for humans in space? 
• Are you so concerned about the future.

Indian music:-- Music notes - Raga  ,  also spelled rag or ragam , in the classical music of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. It is a melodic framework for improvisation and composition. A raga is based on a scale with a given set of notes, a typical order in which they appear in melodies, and characteristic musical motifs. The basic components of a raga can be written down in the form of a scale. By using only these notes, by emphasizing certain degrees of the scale, and by going from note to note in ways characteristic to the raga, the performer sets out to create a mood or atmosphere. There are several hundred ragas in present use, and thousands are possible in theory. • Characteristics of Ragas The Raga is the most important concept that any student of Indian music should understand.   A rag may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring the mind of th...
