REFLECTING ON EARTH DAY AND HOW WE CARE FOR OURSELVES

You’ve probably seen posts popping up all around social media celebrating “Earth Month” and urging us to celebrate our planet, reevaluate our relationship with it, and take sustainable actions towards protecting it.

This means world leaders and environmental activists come together once again to find solutions to combat climate change, minimize our collective carbon footprint, and actively conserve the earth’s natural resources.

While dedicating a whole month to pause and reflect is certainly a noble cause because it enables us to intentionally stop and think about how we’re protecting the earth, this is something we should be doing every single day.

We should take care of our planet’s resources through daily consistent steps which collectively have a positive impact. Mother Earth is all we have to nourish us and so we must protect her.

Now imagine if we applied this same reasoning to our holistic wellbeing?

If we actively paused to celebrate and protect our bodies every day? This means taking intentional time to prioritise our mental, emotional, and physical health. Putting this in practice could look like conserving our energy, time, and resources, and only allocating them in sustainable ways and within safe environments.

And how can we sustainably take care of our physical health and actively rest too? Nurturing our bodies and minds is essential to our self development and renewal. Even the sun sets and rests for the night.

So, as we celebrate Earth Month, remember to also celebrate, nourish, and protect every inch of you.
