I’ve been a horrible sustainable advocate

And that’s okay.

A few months into 2020, I set out a goal of making sustainability a big aspect of my life. Don’t get me wrong, it absolutely still is. I’m conscious of the purchases I make and some Eco swaps are now forever swaps. After being furloughed, I made being a sustainability advocate my job, Monday - Friday - 9-5 just to stay busy... keep my mind busy.

I’m one of those who used my passion to land my dream job and I can’t be more grateful. Even as I write this here, I’ve never loved a job more than I love what I do today - and it involves sustainability daily.

What I mean by I’ve been a horrible sustainability advocate is being sustainable to my sustainable goals. I planned to continue this blog. I planned to continue to give tips on my Instagram. Be sustainable to the sustainability. As my life got busier or even back to its normal jive post-furlough, I’ve put off the goals I set for myself. It’s reasonable, especially during the year of COVID.

I’m working to be more committed to my habits and goals. Does this mean I’ll fail? Yes. Will I be as active or do as much in-depth research as I once did when this blog was created - no. I think that sustainability isn’t just keeping the planet top priority because that in and of itself isn’t sustainable. Learning to prioritize, learning to strategize, learning to create habits, learning to be okay with being busy is in fact sustainability. The burnout is most definitely real.
