If you want less pessimism, prejudice, pollution, or pain for all creatures, my comedy-tations (comedy + meditation) can help

Why I created them
Some companies hypnotize us to do things that are not good for our bodies and planet. So I wanted to help myself and others take our power back and choose what we want to hypnotize ourselves to do that’s good for our bodies and planet. Studies show giving yourself and others hope helps more people change.
I couldn't find anyone offering eco-hypnotherapy for eco-anxiety or other meditations to help you choose your own adventure on how to be more happy, equitable, green, or vegan personally or politically. I also didn't find any that only used positive action statements. So during hypnosis with me, I won't say things like, "Don't do..." because that can accidentally prompt you to eat what you don't want. Instead, I'd say, "It sounds like you want to do more ___."
I also made comedy-tations to support people who might have codependent tendencies to prioritize or worry about causes or other people, all of which can affect your health, causes, and community. So you might need to first be more equitable to yourself. You can't save the earth by running yourself into the ground. To put it another way, if you want to save someone who's drowning, if they ask for a lifeline and you have something rigid like an oar to spare, both of you can hold each end. If they drag you down, you can let go. If you give them your hand, you can drown.
If you're doing too much for your causes, you might accidentally be a scare bear instead of a care bear! Burnout can breed burnout through secondhand stress. People might stop working on those causes because you expect them to work as fast, long, and hard as you. If you're stressed, you might forget basic things. You might also inefficiently work too fast, not be as detail-oriented, sleep less, gossip more, or have no energy to be as kind or open to new ideas. You might be more creative if you don't rush to start or finish.
Even if you don't think you're burned out, people around you might sense it. They might get burned out from not feeling able to speak up. Trauma-informed leadership can help, especially because people creating a greener world are more likely to have trauma. So maybe before you do anything, ask yourself if you're creating codependency or community.
If you're not receiving as much as you give to another adult through ways that you asked them to, and if they don't try to change for the long-term, it might be healthier for both of you to let each other go. Hypno-CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) can also help, which is why I learned it.
Self-care is community care. Maybe it's time to try something new so you can experience a different result.
Since I couldn't find anyone making comedy-tations for how to be a non-codependent care bear, I did what anyone would do: I went to the most science-based hypnotherapy school I found. There I learned that most meditation styles fall under two types: focused attention or open monitoring; and hypnosis is more like a focused attention type of meditation.

They're not just for able-bodied people
For example, I try not to invite you to think of body parts you might not have.
