• P a u s e. Did you know that around 50% or our day our minds are wandering to the past or the future? AND, that due to our ‘negativity bias’ ( the tendency of our mind to both remember and anticipate negative things over positive for survival ), around 80% of that time it’s wandering into the negative? Check in with yourself throughout the day, and ask the question, what am I thinking about? Is it helpful? You will find that doing this over time will make you pay less and less attention to the thoughts that are unhelpful, and more and more attention to those that connect, heal and enrich the planet. 🙌🏼 . . . . . . . . . #pause #spiritualactivism #environmentaldepression #ecoanxiety #climategrief #climatechange #climatewarming #mentalhealth #psychologist #wellbeing #wellbeingscience #mindfulness #meditation #wellness #environmentalpsychology #ecologicalpsychology #clinicalpsychologist #healthymind

  • P r e s e n c e . How present have you been of late? Sometimes it is painful to be fully present to what is happening in the world. It is easier to avoid, tell ourselves stories and remain asleep. It requires a great deal of emotional awareness and self-compassion to be fully awake at the current time, but we need courageous people, fully present, acting from awareness, wisdom and skill. It’s time to wake up together, and create a better future. . . . . . . . #presence #activism #spiritualactivism #environmentaldepression #ecoanxiety #climategrief #climatechange #climatewarming #extinctionrebellion #australianfires #mentalhealth #psychologist #wellbeing #wellbeingscience #environmentalpsychology #activehope #ecologicalpsychology

  • E c o - A n x i e t y. It’s now. It’s time to use our voices and awaken all those asleep and doing business as usual. Business as usual will not cut it in 2020. And if you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious about the state of the earth, stop and notice where your mind is. Chances are it’s catapulted into an unwritten, catastrophic future and taking something yet unknown, as fact. And bring it back to the present moment. Ask yourself, what can I do right now, on this day, to help connect, heal or enrich the planet? Then do it. Join me, and together let’s channel anxiety into action. 🙌🏼 . . . . . . . . . #activism #spiritualactivism #environmentaldepression #ecoanxiety #climategrief #climatechange #climatewarming #extinctionrebellion #australianfires #mentalhealth #psychologist #wellbeing #wellbeingscience #environmentalpsychology #emilytoner #deepecology #activehope

  • P a u s e . How often do you allow yourself to feel it? Without trying to change, transform or get rid of it? The ability to feel is linked with clearer decision making. Tuning in and noticing your emotional experience will help you to know yourself better and make decisions more in alignment with your gut and your deepest values. . . . . . . . #emotionalintelligence #mindfulemotions #mindfulness #selfcompassion #meditation #spiritualactivism #emilytoner #climategrief #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #emotionalwellbeing

  • A n g e r . As smoke engulfs many of our cities and homes today it is a reminder of the devastation that has come before and still continues with the catastrophic fires here in Australia. And it leaves me feeling enraged. But in a good way. Anger is one of the most motivating emotions we have. It is designed to help us to activate and remove barriers in the way of what we want. ⠀⠀ I want to live in a green, clean, natural world where the air is pure, the earth is rich, and nature and ecosystems are thriving and abundant. The burning of fossil fuels for profit, along with deforestation and unsustainable business practices are no longer morally acceptable. We must use our voices to let those in power know that we stand by this. ⠀⠀ What can you do today to channel your anger into action? ⠀⠀ (Ps. One of the most impactful things you can do today is switch your current bank and super fund to an ethical fund. See posts from @jen.kyna for more info).

  • E n v i r o n m e n t a l D e p r e s s I o n. Resilient people have the ability to find meaningful purpose amongst life’s turmoil, as well as hold the belief that they can influence life events. If one 16 year old girl can mobilize millions of people, then what might all of us be capable of, if we, like Greta, committed to one simple, but consistent act of activism in our own life? What will your act be? . . . . . . . . . #activism #spiritualactivism #environmentaldepression #ecoanxiety #climategrief #climatechange #climatewarming #extinctionrebellion #australianfires #mentalhealth #psychologist #wellbeing #wellbeingscience #environmentalpsychology #emilytoner

  • G r i e f. It has been a difficult time here in Australia, fueled by a complete lack of governance by those in power. We have had to come together as a community and support eachother, care for eachother and grieve the homes, lives and staggering number of animals lost. The fire season is still with us, but I can feel a change in the air. People are stirring. They are waking up, and they are starting to recognize the immense power that each and every one of us possess when we unite together to demand change. Here’s to a groundswell of community-driven action in 2020. . . . . . . . . #grief #australianfires #spiritualactivisim #activist #climatemovement #changemakers #environmentaldepression #ecoanxiety #climategrief #climatecrisis #climateemergency #extinctionrebellion #meditation #mindfulness #selfcompassion
