A Mindful Wardrobe Refresh

A Mindful Wardrobe Refresh

Want to be “up to date” with your wardrobe choices? Fashion forwardness understands that the textile industry is incredibly polluting; having your finger on the fashion pulse, then, is about consciously choosing not to participate in trends.

And yet we somehow must dress ourselves. While fast fashion is quite literally made to fall apart, wearing what we wore decades ago isn’t a good look. So what on earth is a sustainable minimalist to do?

On today’s show: How to mindfully refresh your wardrobe with tips straight from experts.

The Antidote To Hedonic Adaptation

The US hails consumption as a patriotic duty. But refraining from buying isn't a punishment, and practicing a bit of self-control both resets our hedonistic baseline and re-centers our behaviors around moderation.  It's paradoxical but true: Imposing temporary limits ultimately sets you free. On today's show author John Oakes discusses the numerous benefits associated with fasting from food, from spending, and everything in between.   Here's a preview: [9:00] What do ancient philosophers have to say about self-control, holding back, and managing desires? [13:00] Musings on why it's important to put limits on ourselves even though our economy thrives when we consume without limits [25:00] We can do hard things! The personal benefits associated with embarking on a challenge and accomplishing it [29:00] Is overconsumption contributing to our nationwide 'modern malaise'?   Resources mentioned: The Fast: The History, Science, Philosophy, and Promise of Doing Without Episode #049: The Why, How, and When of a No-Spend Challenge The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self   This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting!
