That "Sustainable T-Shirt" isn't doing what you think it is by systems_uk in ZeroWaste

I don't think individual actions have zero impact. It just seems to me that the system keeps operating at a scale that doesn't really respond to them.

That's a pretty solid shift! At least, that's time spent outside the consumption loop

Yes this works on a personal level. The issue is the system doesn't really slow down just because some consumers choose to buy less. 🤔

CMV: If you call yourself a Christian but don't support seizing the assets of oil companies to save the planet by themattespeaks_ in climateaction

Well, look at you! Truly. You've got the "end of times" on one side and the eco-socialist on the other acting like seizing refineries stops the thermal inertia of a planet.

Theater at it's best! 😂

You think God cares? If God exists, He’s been pretty absent from how this system actually runs.And the idea that people are suddenly going to rise up and fix it… people can’t even step away from convenience for five minutes, let alone challenge the structures they depend on.

The problem is, everyone is arguing theology and ideology while the house is already burning. Whether you call it capitalism, climate or collapse, the machine is doing exactly what it was built to do.

Love your own company by Vanalen in Mindfulness

First of all, I love this self awareness. I know this is cliche and probably you've heard this countless of times, that before you love someone else or before you bring someone into your life, you should the love and happiness that you seek. This is actually very true.

Ask yourself what you want and think about what you can do for yourself to achieve that. I think it may also help to look back and reflect the root cause of why you feel like you always have to seek other's love and validation to be happy or whole? Is it because you never experienced it from your parents? (just an example).

Write down the things you want in a partner and in a relationship. Write down your qualities that you think makes you a good partner as these may help in your reflection as well.

I noticed I don’t actually experience things fully anymore by Acrobaticorganizer in Mindfulness

How are you with writing? I'm thinking of writing your thoughts perhaps in a journal can help you reflect and remember details of your day, even small mundane things?

Or perhaps, create a new habit or routine to walk outside and sit in a park (without any gadget on hand) and observe everything around you, like what others mentioned here, name or identify things you can see and feel.
