Will we find greater solace in each other when we have time to be less busy? Will we be able to slow down and put down the “being present” manifestos? Perhaps we won’t need to learn as much about mindfulness. Perhaps the capitalist machine will transform enough for humanity to take a breath.

With AI potentially displacing millions of jobs, the mental health implications could be severe. UBI can mitigate these impacts by providing a stable income, thereby reducing stress and anxiety associated with economic uncertainty. We cannot underestimate the importance of mental health in creating a thriving society. When people are less stressed about meeting their basic needs, they can contribute more meaningfully to their communities and the economy.

Ensuring diverse human involvement in AI development is equally important. A study by the AI Now Institute found that more diverse teams create AI systems that better serve a broader range of people. When AI development teams include people from various backgrounds, the resulting systems are more likely to address the needs of different communities, reducing the risk of exclusion and harm.

“Almost anyone can be viewed as defective or abnormal under our current medicalized model of mental illness—at least during particularly trying periods of their lives when they are depressed or their coping breaks down. In this way, neurotypicality is more of an oppressive cultural standard than it actually is a privileged identity a person has.”

We also miss out on some of the most beautiful moments of our short lives. We are the first generation who may remember more about our screens than actual lived experiences. This is a PURPOSEFUL design. The ONLY motivation behind this is to feed corporations money while we watch their ads. You are a mere dollar sign in the system to be controlled and puppeteered.

We can acknowledge the powerful positive changes artificial light has brought us for necessary uses while still being present to the fact that it IS harming our health at night, in our homes, when it would be ideal for us to be experiencing deep rest. Lacking deep rest is a completely new issue that has arisen in the last 120 years. This is not normal and it is deleterious to our functioning.

Stigmatization leads to many negative mental and physical health outcomes for neurodivergent people. As a neurodivergent person myself, it often feels like I am drowning under the weight of failure. My inner self is happy, joyful, and free - but she is often weighted down by the expectations of others and of my more judgmental self. Some of those judgmental inner voices are my own, but many of them stem from society and unrealistic expectations repeated often enough to stick.

Our neurotransmitters and hormones are experiencing massive change without anything to support us through that change - and generally, not a lot of deep reflection on the meaning of this change. Studies have found that we have become so well trained to check our smartphones (two-thirds of us check our phones approximately 160 times per day) that our bodies generate the stress hormone cortisol when we haven’t checked them for a while.

“When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision — then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

— Audre Lorde

What is the difference between happiness and optimism? Optimism is a choice and something we have a say in. Happiness is an emotion that we can cultivate, but not control. Optimism is a mindset that we can purposefully select in order to find fulfillment and peace in our lives. Each stage of life will demand our continued growth and having a positive mindset allows us to directly mitigate any physiological potential health issues and mental health struggles.

How did we come to a place where mercury is sold in skincare creams? Utter disregard for consumer wellbeing is the norm in American consumer culture. It took until the year 2020 for toxic chemicals in personal care to be banned, and then, only in the state of California. We need to come together to protect our families and friends from using harmful products that are linked to cancer. Check out the chart below, published in NCBI in June 2018. It is shocking to see and understand just how dangerous our wellness products can be.

The nature of being human is complex. We ask a lot of ourselves, other people seem to ask for a lot from us, and our thoughts seem to infiltrate all of our waking moments, leaving little room to just be. Our desires push and pull us through life at a rapid pace. Our families and work need attention, need nurturance, and our bodies require much maintenance. Finding silence, finding peace, seeking inner knowing, and having the ability to delineate how to do those things often falls by the wayside. We hope to share 3 accessible, easy, and loving ways to draw you back to yourself for 5 minutes a day.

Why do people choose to purchase toxic skincare products? There is a lack of awareness of the complexity and gravity of the issue. People simply do not know what they are buying, or if they do, are so overwhelmed by the stressors of modern life, that they cannot bring themselves to spend time researching a solution.
