Description

In the first episode of Vanilla Weeds for Season 2, we find ourselves in unprecedented times when it comes to the state of affairs locally and globally. 

In times like these, we always ask ourselves what is our personal responsibility; what’s ours to do. During the discussion that followed, we came up with answers to this question. First and foremost, we agreed that we need to start by admitting that whatever is happening, we are part of it. We are contributing to everything we do or don’t do.

What we agreed is that if we want to take our responsibility and show up in the world differently, there are some simple steps we could take:

1. Slow down, breathe, and connect to your heart.
2. Spend quality time with Nature and like-hearted people. 
3. Diversify your sources of daily information. 
4. Become aware when you act out of fear. 
5. Welcome anger and sadness and avoid toxic positivity.
6. Engage in soul-enriching activities, for example, art.
7. Acquire knowledge on how society and economy function.

We agreed that these are all simple things within our reach, and we can find the time to do it. Listen to the full episode to understand the meaning and significance of each topic and how we can find the time to fulfill our responsibilities.
