Evaluate Your Consumption

We tend to believe that consumption is mostly what we put in our mouths. However consumption takes a myriad of forms, mainly it is in how we spend our time. For example many people spend hours a day consuming what the TV stations decide to feed them, instead of being more selective about what they would like to consume. This ofcourse is mostly an unconscious habit one that can be broken by a new ritual.  The new ritual should be as exciting as the old habit and be in line with the values of the individual.  One must first begin to evaluate current consumption habits - how valuable and important are these actually to one's life, goals and values? Once these self-inquiries are honestly answered, the next step would be coming up with new activities and ritual to replace the old, rituals that add meaning, value and satisfaction to one's life - leading to a more rewarding and fulfilling outcome.
