Are you being mindful RIGHT NOW?
It’s so easy to scroll through your feed mindlessly and become sucked into the trappings of consumerism, so try to take a second and pause to think about the impact that the people you follow on Instagram are having on your life.
We tend to ignore the effects of our behaviors as consumers on both our earth and our own minds.
Is it possible that by following people who filter and modify their photos, we are distorting our understanding of reality, and creating unattainable expectations? And that by following content that is created with the intention to stir our desire for consumption, we may be enabling the very businesses and practices that are destroying our planet?
With fashion month upon us, we know it can be difficult or even triggering to see so many people dressed to the nines, attending fashion shows, with incredible bodies… be AWARE that that many of those people are presenting a false impression of their lives.
Don’t let what is presented on social media dictate your self-worth or your sense of what is right. Instead, choose to live a conscious life where you’re helping both yourself AND the greater good by aligning your actions with your values. Encourage edited photos to be claimed as having used , rather than presented as if it hasn’t been.
We hope you will join us in continuing to spread awareness and light through championing slow fashion, authenticity, responsible consumerism, and charitable acts.
