In a world where kindness matters, let’s start within ourselves. An ‘Ever Kind Mind’ begins by extending compassion to our own thoughts and feelings. Be gentle with yourself during difficult times. Embrace self-compassion, understanding that imperfection is part of being human. As you nurture kindness within, it naturally radiates outward, creating a ripple effect of positivity. Let’s build a world where kindness starts from within. 🌻💙

It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the climate crisis. Let's open the conversation about this anxiety and its effects. Take small steps: educate, reduce, and advocate for change.

At the Chesapeake Institute we are committed to mitigating our impact on climate change as much as we can. As such, we vow to plant one tree for every therapy session. 🌴🌳🌲

Together, we can alleviate eco-anxiety and work towards a healthier planet. 🌎💚
