🟣🌍… close your eyes and imagine our great big planet Earth hovering in front of you. Notice the colours and textures of the land masses and oceans. Take a deep breath in and imagine the Earth getting bigger and more vibrant as you inhale. Exhale and imagine it shrinking back down. Take another deep breath in and imagine Earth once again growing in size and vibrancy. Repeat as needed. Do this any time you need to take a moment and look at the big picture.

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale. Smile. I get it, sometimes it is hard just to get through your own day let alone try to save the Earth too. Be kind to yourself and remember that are probably doing more than you realise. So take time this week to look at the big beautiful Earth around you, put some sidewalk trash in the bin and learn about 👉other ways you can make a difference 💚🌍
