With Earth Day here, it’s helpful to think about how our daily actions affect the world around us. Our internal and external worlds are dynamically interconnected. Focusing on mental energy conservation leads us to conservation in the physical world. And that’s good for Mother Nature.
Create a routine by setting up time blocks for work and personal time. During your personal time, a key to conserving mental energy is to limit the number of mental distractions. One of the best ways to do this is with a regular quiet ritual. There are many different ways that you can implement this sign in your home or office, but they all have the same goal: giving you time and space to clear your mind and conserve your internal power. Burn some Palo Santo incense and light a bayberry candle while you meditate. Use moon water to clean and energize your crystals. Or journal about what you’re manifesting in the next few days.
Living simply is the best way to help the environment. It saves time and energy, and it reduces stress. Living simply could cut carbon emissions by up to 50% in the US. Use sunlight, moonlight, or candlelight when possible. Reuse your food jars for spell jars. Eat, shop, and travel with awareness and intention.
Nature and lifestyle are linked. When we choose to make space for internal energy conservation, all of nature benefits. May you live every day like it’s Earth Day.
