Struggling to get through your busy week? IDA’s Sustainable Activism experts offer helpful tips to brighten your day and provide new self-care strategies. Members of our Council of Sustainable Activism, Helpline Counselors, and other professionals now will be presenting fifteen second video tips on a regular basis.

Our first Sustainable Activism Tip comes from Sustainable Activism Campaign Director Lisa Levinson, who restores her body, mind, and spirit by immersing herself in nature. A simple walk in the woods or even standing outside in the fresh air can make a huge difference.

Try this: Step outside, breathe deeply, feel the sun on your face, and listen to the sounds around you. Pay attention to the often unseen urban wildlife all around you. Remember why you are doing your activist work. Return renewed, with a sense of purpose and perspective.

Let’s take care of ourselves so we can continue to advocate for the animals! Stay tuned to IDA’s Facebook page and our website for more Sustainable Activism Tips.
