Nowadays, humanity is facing so many problems and it's time to expand our awareness and our consciousness and identify past race, religion, gender, nationality, and so on. In Brain Education, this concept is called an Earth citizen. So here are seven ways to live as an Earth citizen. Number one, identify as an Earth citizen. This is the first and most important step to upgrading your consciousness to a more worldview. Many people are still preoccupied with labels such as race or their cultural identities. And it's great to be proud of your heritage and where you come from. But if we all recognize that we come from the planet Earth, that we're all citizens of the Earth, we can all raise that consciousness and work together to save the problems of the Earth. Number two, express gratitude for the Earth. The Earth is very easy to take for granted. It works and does everything for us without us even asking. And we truly as a human species have been damaging the Earth a lot. To boost your own Earth citizen mindset, find some time during the day to give thanks to all that the Earth gives to us. For example, you can include it in your daily meditation practice or have it as a silent blessing before you eat a meal. Number three, live sustainably. Many people nowadays have the opportunity to buy lots of things, spend lots of money, travel all over the world. While that's amazing, it is still important to stay conscious of your impact and your footprint you leave on the Earth. Do what you can to reduce your consumption patterns, such as recycling, buying less things that you don't need, and also reducing your use of petroleum products. Number four, develop a wide benefit mindset. In Korea, there is a philosophy that many live by called Hongik, and it means living for the benefit of all. In other words, it's living in a way where we think about our community, we think about the Earth instead of just ourselves and our immediate family. When setting goals for your life, your career, your family, think about how do my choices impact humanity? How do my choices and actions impact and benefit my society, the Earth, and humanity? Number five, commune with nature. Spending time outside of nature is very important for the health of your mind, body, and your soul. Studies have shown that even looking at pictures of nature can help lower your stress levels. When you're in nature, you can really feel your connection to the Earth, and most of the time if you meditate in nature, your worries and your problems go away in that moment. Number six, connect to energy. Although we may think we are all separate beings in the physical world, we are all connected through energy to nature, to other forms of life, we are all connected through energy. Earth citizens live with this awareness and with the appreciation of the power of the energy system that links the whole universe together. Number seven, grow your soul. Earth citizens understand that their life is a continuous journey of upward evolution. Living with an intentional mindset of growth and change can accelerate that growth and change in your life, which will ultimately lead to fulfillment. Overall, living as an Earth citizen is a life filled with connecting with other people, connecting with nature, and sharing that common identity of being a citizen of this planet Earth. If human beings find unity in this common identity of Earth citizens, then the problems we have around the world like war, global warming, all these crazy things happening around the world, they will no longer seem insurmountable to overcome.
