071: Conscious Consumerism for Real People

Conscious consumers make deliberate, informed choices instead of mindlessly buying items they think they need. They know they have purchasing power, too, as such, they aspire to improve the world with their dollars. Want to be more intentional with your purchases? Here's how! 4 concrete resources within.

Conscious consumers are so much more than review-checkers.

They don’t have their credit card information saved on Amazon. They’re not swayed by “deals” or “sales”, either.

Conscious consumers don’t walk the shopping mall for fun + they certainly don’t follow marketplace trends.

You’ve heard the term but – still! – its definition remains ambiguous. What is a conscious consumer, exactly?

This week, I’m thrilled to identify key traits of intentional shoppers. I show you exactly how you can be one, too, with 4 easy-ish tricks + resources.

Enjoy!

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
