Eco Anxiety
Manage episode 414025506 series 2391159
Have you ever felt a sense of worry, fear, or anger when you think about climate change and the state of our planet? If so, you may be experiencing what's called "eco-anxiety." As plant lovers who are so connected to nature through our gardens and houseplants, it makes total sense that eco-anxiety could affect us. We care deeply about the Earth because we are part of it. So, let us spend some time with my dearest friend and resident green witch, Rachael Cohen, to better understand this concept.
In this episode, we learn:
- [03:33] What is eco-anxiety?
- [07:14] Rachael’s personal story of identifying/managing eco-anxiety
- [09:45] Coping with eco-anxiety
- [11:21] How perspective affects happiness
- [12:16] What is the environmental impact of our actions, and how does it relate to our well-being?
- [15:21] Fill your homes with the most ethereal sounds with the new Wind River Eclipse Collection (use code GROWINGJOY)
- [17:26] Discover gardening tips, kitchen tricks, and family activities to reduce waste and save money with ‘Simple Country Living’ by Annette Thurmon
- [18:39] What is Rachael's book, Self-Care for Eco-Anxiety, all about?
- [20:01] Is corporate responsibility being misdirected, with consumers unfairly blamed?
- [22:30] How to shift from fight/flight to parasympathetic rest and digest mode
- [24:18] Somatic practices to release severe negative feelings associated with eco-anxiety
- [29:01] Finding neutrality and managing anxiety
- [30:10] What is the concept of “the mother tree” in Rachael’s book?
- [32:25] What is the mycelium network?
- [36:42] What are some ways we can give back to Mother Nature?
- [41:37] Rachael’s favorite strategy for bringing oneself back from an eco-anxiety spiral
- [43:23] How is the book constructed?
- [46:55] Where can you get the book?
