How can you make a difference?
- Go outdoors as often as possible, daily if possible. Get some fresh air, sunshine, listen to the rain, watch snowflakes fall. Go for a walk, or just stay still, whatever works better for you. Begin to develop and deepen right relationship to the land where you live ~ begin by learning about the pre-settler colonialism history of human-land relations in that place; who were the prior human stewards of the land that nourishes you now? what is your knowledge of and relationship with these people? how do you relate to belonging in time and place?
- Give yourself opportunities to experience mindfulness practices. They might seem hard at the beginning, just keep trying and keep an open mind.
- Related to healthy food: what we eat affects us profoundly on all dimensions of existence/ being -> mindful eating: content and process
