If you've ever downplayed the efforts you're making to live greener because there's things you know you're doing that so aren't eco-friendly, then today's episode is for YOU!
So last week I met an amazing business mum in a group mastermind I've joined. We started chatting about our businesses and just life in general and before too long she said "oh, I'm not eco at all!" She went on to list all the things she hadn't done, like mentioning the fact she never got around to using cloth nappies on her kids.
The funny thing though was the conversation swung to just general living and she started talking about her chickens and pretty simple lifestyle on a rural block out of town and it dawned on me..... "You're more Eco than you think"! I mean, food waste alone makes up around 40% of the waste from Australian households and when you keep chickens you eliminate that pretty much altogether!
But our chat got me thinking a bit more. We often downplay the efforts we're making and feel guilty about the stuff we're not doing (like not using cloth nappies) but we forget to focus on the awesome stuff we are doing (like keeping chickens).
It's human nature to dwell on our misgivings, rather than our wins, but I really want you to focus on the great things you ARE doing. Give yourself some positive reinforcement every now and then, rather than beating yourself up and going on a guilt trip. You'll then be more inclined, and be in a much better headspace, to take the next step in your eco journey.
