Effective climate action isn't just about pushing for change 24-7. I'm increasingly convinced that self-care is also essential. Spending time with the people we love, in the places we love, doing the things we love, is what fuels our capacity to love and fight for a better future for all. ❤️🌎

And since it took 200+ years for us to get into this critical situation by steadily constructing a vast multitrillion dollar global energy system, it's not going to be fixed in 5, 10, or 15 years by a small number of people burning themselves out.

I'm curious how this interacts with our personal emergency mode? As in, people read our nonverbal cues, and if we act like it's a serious emergency, they might get into it. If we act like it's a past time, they mught feel it's optional... ? we need to pace ourselves, but we also need to show urgency

Self-care in fighting for a better world is SO IMPORTANT!!!

Burnout doesn’t serve anyone

Hello

I would want activists to be able to show internally the reflection of the world they want to create.

Hello

If we don't practice self care, we risk burn out, despair, and a negative mind. If these happen, we won't be able to offer the world our best.

Agree 100%

I stepped back from making movies that document climate activism to make a short fictional film about, feeding my soul. I just finished the production phase, & am the happiest ever. I think it’ll be funny, too.
