The Corona Virus that’s sweeping through China killing many is the latest threat to the Status Quo and will likely continue to be hugely disruptive to international markets and economies and have a domino effect world wide.
Just the latest driver in launching this site – We need alternatives to living in debt and working in jobs that make us miserable and promote contant stress … life is too short and time is too precious!
Millenials are disillusioned by a system that doesn’t work for them & even punishes them for living the way the baby boomers promote and try to maintain for themselves. Innovation seems to be a dirty word as it’s all about maintaining power & control structures. Why would the next generations ‘fall in line’ and buy into this? or choose to be part of systems that have no benefit to them in the long term , educational, economic, institutional??
Housing is just a game of monopoly, and debt is what keeps us bound to continue to play the corporate game. There are many who have become wise to this and are deciding not to buy into that way of life.
So what are the alternatives ??
Believe it or not there are many, however, cultural conditioning, parental expectations, maintaining a falsely gained status & ego may be barriers to entry … but it’s purely individual choice and there’s honestly no right or wrong way to design your life… however, ask yourself if you’re designing life consciously or subconsciously repeating learned patterns from childhood or early adulthood? Are you looking to everyone else for guidance rather than ‘deciding’ for yourself what’s right for you?
These are the questions I have asked myself, so if you’re interested in what I have learned so far and discovering as I go, tune in, follow, subscribe you know the drill 😉
This is a search for the ultimate alternative lifestyle that means we have choices again, we can choose to live and work according to our unique talents and find the majick in life again.
Living in survival mode has become the norm, and it’s aging us, making us unhealthy and forcing us to suppress and repress our emotions to maintain a facade of having it all together. When in fact we live in an increasingly individualistic society where loneliness is the new epidemic. because many don’t feel they can be authentically themselves and be accepted, a subconscious and sometimes conscious fear of rejection is driving behaviour. I have my own theories around why so many have become Narcissistic and self-loathing to the point that they harm others in the same way they themselves where wounded.
In saying that I do respect and acknowledge the Stoic traditions and the Buddhist philosophy of detachment can be helpful in many ways. Idealistic, perhaps?!
Those who say you “can’t” do something usually have their own agendas in keeping us “in our lane”, or projecting their own fears on us … meaning they want us to be safe … but the only way they know how, is to teach others with what they’ve learned to fear. Even when circumstances and times have changed, traumatic memories and the emotions attached to these will keep people stuck. The mind body connection is key to understanding how to adapt to change, as it’s those who are most adaptable that will thrive!
If you’ve read this rant this far, firstly thank you & secondly, you’re likely open minded enough to consider all avenues to success and/or interested enough in learning more about one or more topics mentioned. I’m aiming at updates once a week on either Sundays or Mondays … I’ll also be adding products that may be useful/helpful for sustainable living and working to the store as they are found. Have a great week!
