I’ve also found that abundance begets abundance whereas lack begets lack. If I had a single bite of a Kit Kat, and think, this is enough, I’ve experienced the essence of a Kit Kat, I can be content. But I can have twenty Kit Kats unconsciously and not remember what it tastes like.
I think that's a very good point. Especially around this time of year, my son came home with a mountain of sweets from trick or treating, if he tried to eat it all at once he'd not enjoy it as much.
I love this! It’s something I think about a lot (which this post has made me realise). It’s hard to enjoy things when there’s too much of it, but I also worry there’ll some a time when there’s nothing left to like. I wonder if your daughter subconsciously wants to fast track to the bit where she can get to enjoy those KitKats fully, ie, when there’s only one left?
Thanks Abasiama, I think of we asked most people they would all say they don't have enough time, but if they really looked at how they spent it there would be an abundance of time to spend on things that matter.
I love this idea of abundance. I have been studying abundance mindset in recent times and I think this is an incredible balance to bring into the study. I am also looking at how order can help us buy back time. In this scenario where order is established, I believe we can have abundance without being wasteful. This concept of buying back time also promotes being minimalist and letting go of things that no longer serve you.
Lovely article, I particulary like the tips at the end. I've found practicing mindfulness has really helped me to question not just my own consumption pattern, but society's as a whole. It feels like, at least in some parts of the world, we are over consuming food, alcohol, information, clothes, and just stuff in general. I now find myself asking if I really need something as I click add to cart 🙈.

Thank you, I do think that there's a subconscious element to it and so if I can create that artificially, all the better!
