I realized that what I wanted to put my energy into is the type of change that I sincerely want to move forward. The resulting action that aligns with that should be to amplify the voices that I believe in, rather than trying to argue some dude on Twitter; and to only engage with those who disagree in a respectful way.
You can see these concepts are specific to me, so become more nuanced than "Just do it". If you can’t find the right ones, give yourself permission to get creative and design your own.

Hi, I can't remember if I sent you one already so take this as a wildcard plant for the ask game
hello, hi <3 plampt hourss
lets go this one bc this nerolore point has been in the tags mostly so far
edelweiss - how’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you?
i was hugely into lilly singh (whose youtube channel was called iisuperwomanii at the time) so that was a bit of random inspiration, but 90% of it was my interest in aristocracy/nobility/royalty & gallantry (that i'm still weak for, don't get me wrong here) and the fact that i am a brunette irl, now a full blown one since i've returned to my natural hair colour in the meantime :> it can also be taken as a reference to nyra who is 1) born into aristocracy, 2) a landed noblewoman in her own right, 3) a brunette (though her hair's a golden brown and mine's much darker) so that's a bit of nerolore meets nyra lore. i wouldn't change it now, it's my thing and i'm forever bonded to it rn, no backsies
Lilly Singh, a Youtuber (and now a Late Night Show Host) may have targeted this book to a younger audience, but her ideas are applicable across the lifespan.
What I realized was that I had abandoned this trend because it focussed solely on positivity quotes. I hated that it was building up an environment of toxic positivity, without taking into account the true barriers that I was facing.
Lilly specifically discusses having empowering phone and desktop wallpapers as a way to build an environment that reminds you of your goals. Truthfully, I had my qualms about this piece of advice; I've had my own "cute Pinterest wallpaper" phase and abandoned it as I grew older.
