Living simple.

So many of us want to do it, so many of us try to do it, but fail miserably. Given that we are living in a society that over-consumption seems to be the norm, it is difficult for even those who are aware of the”want more, need more, never enough” signals that advertisements blast all around to re-program their minds.

I’m currently trying to live more simple and yet, have more satisfaction, starting by first consuming less. However, I find myself always teeter-tottering between wanting more and then catching myself from buying something I really don’t need.

I’m not a wonderful writer, my grammar is far from perfect, but I thought starting a blog about trying to consume less and at the same time being more environmentally conscious would actually make me a little bit more well, conscious in general.

I’m sure many of you struggle with the idea of living with less, try to for a couple weeks maybe, but fall back into old habits. I’ve always found the idea of living simple interesting, having read several books on the problem of consumption in the US, becoming financially independent so we have more time to ourselves with less worries, and books on how to live with less . Hopefully I can keep it up and write at a good pace. I’m hoping that I can help others live with more satisfaction while enforcing myself to stay in line.
