Growth vs. treading water. 🙏

Never mistake joy for complacency. Don’t assume kindness and fierceness are an either/or equation. Don’t misread relaxation for relinquishing. Focus equally on the world’s strengths as the world’s injuries. The person who does not quit cannot be stopped. #resistance #resilience #joy

The war on Wildlife in the American West will continue until people STOP EATING BEEF. How many people with a “Wolves Belong” bumper sticker on their car actually ate a hamburger for dinner. What’s it going to take? Wolves, bison, bears pushed to extinction? So fkg sick of the cognitive dissonance. 💔

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]

Zelensky is a hero in a world of monsters, and I believe more Americans support him than Trump/Musk. In the face of the disrespect this man endured at the White House this morning, the “let’s not shop today” feels horribly tepid.

It’s not the Pollyanna syndrome to recognize that action requires some good news every now and then. It’s the human brain, which needs hope to function. Look for those who share the wins as well as the losses. They’re the ones with the fortitude to see this through. #resilience #hope #empowerment

After 20 yrs of studying human behavior, I’ve found the research to be clear. To initiate sustainable change, hope and possibility must be key ingredients. Chronic fear and despair eventually create hopelessness which leads to apathy & shut-down. Focus on small steps, & solutions. #psychology

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I absolutely love talking to, texting, & being with my friends. But my instinct is to live life on a perpetual solo dive into my own depth of consciousness. I have to work at it. (1/ of 3) #highlysensitiveperson #introvert #spiritualjourney #writers

3 x she tried to land on me during my morning hike. She was not agitated, just gently hovered. I thought maybe one of her family was in trouble, so I asked her to show me how to help. But no…she just wanted me to fly with her. We are all interconnected. #birds #nature #newmexico #indigenous

I’d like to remind you that Healers heal just by walking into a room. Healers walk the earth in every profession, and are often hidden in plain sight. They’re often very humble. I’m astonished by the sheer number of so many who would never think of themselves as healers, but they are. #energy

When I was a kid I was terrified of war. When other kids were busy playing, I was grinding my teeth over nuclear weapons. My older brother told me “the powers that be” would never let anything get out of hand. They’d remove any threat. I guess we’re it. We’re the power.

My husband and I have been taking what I’m calling “listening walks” after dark. We walk in blackness listening for owls, coyotes, or who knows what else. It’s a way to sharpen our senses, and let the stresses of the day go. It’s a moody experience and I’m loving it. #mindfulness #nightphotography

Advice for thriving as an HSP: 1.) Study the trait 2.) Strong boundaries 3.) Though the tendency for overstimulation is to shut down, the key to energizing your life is to learn to ‘open’. 4.) Emotional Regulation 5.) Nature 7.) Somatic tools #HighlySensitivePerson #psychology

There is a lot going on right now and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Just remember the 20-60-10 rule! After 20 minutes of work, take a 60-minute stroll through the forest and hug 10 trees (at least). They need love too!

Allostatic load is the physiological toll that being stuck in chronic stress has on your body. Chronic stress—like when your country is undergoing a coup. I can “see” energy, and I haven’t come across one person whose body isn’t broadcasting pain. 💔 ~ Move your body ~ Meditate ~ Deep Breaths

I fucking hate being afraid of things. I’m honestly afraid of so much, which always astonishes the people who know me. I was the kid who entered the abandoned, haunted house because my own fear pissed me off. #psychology #fear #resilient #newmexico

Everything you’re experiencing is fuel. No experience is wasted. Frustrations, failures, dead-ends, blocked energy, pain, confusion…it’s all asking you to learn more about yourself, accept yourself, see your life with new eyes—even through the tears… #newmexico #bosquedelapache #psychology

Meet the love of my life, Zemra! He’s covered in heart-shaped black spots. He also has a Feb bday! Friends thought I should name him Val, Valentine, or Valentino but I thought that was too on-the-nose. But Zemra means ‘heart’ in Albanian. So…he’s got a covert 🖤 name. #catsofbluesky #catlady #cats

Nature to me is psychology. Because most collective societal pathology, in my opinion, stems from or is exacerbated by our disconnection from nature. #naturelovers #psychology #energyhealing #mothernature
