Finally did this hike after living in Hawaii for 8 years. It was good. The phone recorded it as 42 flights climbed👌🏼#overachiever
Good graphic of some truly mind-blowing stats 🤯 I think overshoot is the best way to really understand how unsustainable our culture is, and the huge changes we have to make on every level of society if we want a shot at a decent future for ourselves. (Renewable energy, local food movements, 20 hour work week, universal basic income, single use nothing, add your idea here!) The US blows through their annual resource budget by March 15 (2.5 months into the year) and for the remaining 9.5 months we are essentially stealing the quality of life of people and animals in the future (just 11 years from now, if we go by the UN’s predictions for when we start to really see the consequences of climate change.) Neoliberal policies (privatize everything) has become a death cult ☠️🌎
I’ve been doing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) once a week for five weeks. It’s hard but I feel better. So far we’ve covered defusion from one’s immediate thoughts, acceptance of feelings, and self as context. Which I think means being less attached to one’s identity. That one was harder for me than expected. But the me having experiences at five years old is the same me right now - I haven’t changed, I just have an extra 30 years of experiences. I get it, and I don’t get it, but if you struggle with anxiety and have a couple of months to dig deep into yourself, I really recommend this therapy.
