Conscious Living

Living simply
Feeling free
No need for stuff
I can just be
Releasing what no longer serves me
No clutter in my space
Non essential have no place
Clearing out what I don’t need
Non attachment to things
No heaviness
I love simplicity
Not continuing to contribute
To more stuff in circulation
That ends up in landfills, or even the ocean
2020 time to take a stand
Make conscious choices
To protect the earth
And do the best I can
Having faith and knowing
My best will keep on growing
It’s a process - one step at a time
Each day learning how to redefine
Old habits or ways of living
After all she’s given me
This is the least I can be doing
Make choices that are eco friendly
And choices that are kind
To be conscious of my spending
I will not support corporations that don’t give a damn
Or even a dime
When there are so many organizations
Trying to do it right
I’m not perfect
But I hope to spread some light
Questioning our choices
Decisions
Products
And supposed needs
We say we love the Earth and people
Then where we shop and what be buy matters
The questions that we ask
Who is profitting off that
Why would I pay any company to advertise for them -
That joke would be on me
Why do we always feel for everything to be brand new
When there is so much available only gently used
Some people pull the abundance card
And I get it - I’m all about that
But since when can’t we maintain abundance
And still show regard for the Earth and in the end
Support our fellow humans
Stand against unfair labor practices
Support the eco companies genuinely trying do right
There are so many simply small steps
That each of can us take
It’s simply starts with being curious
Ask questions
Do some research
Ask if we really need this
And where will it end up in 1-2-5 years time
But don’t get me wrong it’s a process for sure
Takes so much practice to learn
A new way of being in a new paradigm
But making a commitment to make small shifts over time
Buy less
Shop local
Shop used
Support refill and bulk supplies
Figure out each day how to rely
Less and less on plastic
Which is such a sad waste
Call me optimistic
But I truly believe we can all get better at this
One choice, one challenge, one day at a time.
