WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness is the ability to be fully aware of what we are doing and not overtly reacting by what is going around us. In terms of consumption, mindfulness is the understanding of what you purchase and why you purchase it. Its opposite is the constant accumulation of stuff which is similar and repetitive, without any thought given to the planet or other people.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”74650″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FULLY MINDFUL?
Certain consumers now want a simple, sustainable and self-sufficient life. What does it mean? It means that the consumer is fully aware of what they purchase- the product qualities and features as well as the story behind the item and the brand. Complete mindfulness means being aware of the impact of the purchase on the people who made the product and the world as a whole. The mindful consumer is more aware of their power towards the world. They realize that every time they buy a product or service, they vote for the world they want. This results into consumers who are more conscious about the things they consume. These consumers wear and carry the change they want to see. Mindful consumption is respect for not just people, but for the planet at large. The important question is- what kind of a world do you vote for?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”74654″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
HOW DO YOU BECOME A MINDFUL CONSUMER?
Your choice has power. The power to change lives. The power to change the world. To change the lives of farmers, spinners, weavers, printers, tailors, designers, artists and many more who are crafting their souls into everything that you choose to buy. Your fashion should tell a story about both you and the artist who made that fashion for you. And when you exercise this power consciously, kindly and with full awareness, you are a mindful consumer.
Mindful consumption is a combination of two essential elements- Mindful Mindset and Mindful Behaviour.
Mindful Mindset– A sense of caring towards self, community and environment
Mindful Behaviour– Making a conscious choice while making your purchase and choosing things that are good for yourself, the community and the environment.
Mindfulness extends to both the way the products are made, and how you are choosing to add things to your lives. It is about authenticity of organisations and the rising importance of craftsmanship and local sourcing. A mindful consumer looks for companies who practice ‘betterness’. A mindful consumer asks “What sincere difference does this product or service make?” As an organisation, we wish to answer this question.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”74733″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
