A Year of Not Buying into Consumerism

Follow my journey as I commit to not buying into consumerism

Today has been a good day. Im feeling lighter. I think the energy of the full moon has been heavy this week and has really made me feel alot more sensitive. I definitely feel the energy has shifted today.

I have still been really disciplined but did resort to buying chips for my tea tonight. I had a busy day with mobile clients and really couldnt be bothered to cook.

After yesterdays blog and the poem I wrote I have been reflecting on the Friends sitcom.

I do enjoy watching clips on the reels on Facebook and often sit down and watch a few. They always bring a smile to my face. I didnt watch them when they first came out but then watched them all a little while years ago.

Now in my late forties I am really aware of some of the toxicity within the series that has been portrayed as commonplace – gaslighting (Joey does this alot under the disguise of being funny), the toxic on off relationship with Rachel and Ross, Ross’s Insecurity and jealousy and manipulation to name some examples.

I wonder what others think and feel when they rewatch. We have so much more awareness now around these toxic behaviours, yet they are seen as normal. No wonder so many people experience these type of relationships when we are being subliminally programmed.

I would love to receive any comments about this from others perception.

    That full moon had me wobbling as well, so I’m relieved to hear it wasn’t just me. This week felt heavier than it should have, and today really did come with a bit of a lift.

    That’s an interesting perspective on Friends. It’s something I never clicked watching it years ago. And you’ll probably not unsee the messy bits now you’ve seen them. Funny how our awareness grows when we’re not even trying.

    Your reflections make sense, especially after a week that’s felt emotionally louder than usual.

    Much love
