Mindful Lifestyle – 10 Proven Solutions To Learn And Live

Ideas To Live A More Mindful Lifestyle: Living a mindful, sustainable life is not hard. All you need to do is follow a few basic things and I am sure that slowly they will become habits.   Changing yourself is the only way to make real change happen in the world. Smaller, but manageable changes are easier and can make a significant impact on the world around us.

I am sharing just a few ideas to build long term sustainable habits – 

1. Carry a steel water bottle everywhere with you for your drinking water. Its easily washable and reusable. There are many insulated ones available now that can keep your water cold for many hours in the summer.
2. If you like going to your local cafes for a daily dose of joe, then carry your own steel mug. Its unbreakable and washable. It will also last you a long time too.
3. I keep one or two cloth bags folded up in every handbag of mine, just in case I have to go pick up some grocery unexpectedly. They are sturdy and reusable. You will be able to say no to those plastic bags at the store every time!
4. Use newspapers as garbage bin liners. This will help in reducing usage of plastic garbage bags and save you money too!
5. Try and shop at wholesale kirana {ration} stores. You can bring your own empty glass jars, cloth potlis, or any kind kitchen containers to carry back your kitchen supplies.
6. If you don’t have the time & space to make your own, you’re your personal beauty & skincare products from smaller brands that are making products with natural ingredients in sustainable packaging.
7. If there are things in plastic packaging, that you just can’t avoid buying, then try and find a recycling program in your area for the same. These groups also do doorstep pick up of your plastic waste.
8. Reuse your empty glass jars for storing jams, chutneys in the fridge or dry fruit on your table for snacking.
9. Get things repaired and fixed, instead of throwing them and out and buying new.
10. Use empty plastic take out container as Seed Starter Pots.

It will take individual effort to make a global change with ideas to live a more mindful lifestyle. That is the only way we can save, create and give a better, safe and beautiful planet to our future generations.
