Creating a lifestyle that’s good for you and the world.

Mostly Harmless is all about living in a way that does the planet good at the same time as looking after yourself.

A lot of ‘sustainable lifestyles’ out there are pretty rigid; going plastic free, going vegan, going off the grid. These lifestyles are all great for the planet – but are they sustainable for you?

As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, I find it near impossible to live by these ideas no matter how much I agree with them. Either I stick to them too rigidly or can’t keep to them at all – both paths end in my mental health slipping downhill, which results in living carelessly.

I realised that the best way to work towards a better world was to make sure that my lifestyle was sustainable for me first. Being mentally and physically healthy makes it easy to consistently make good decisions for the world around me. Although it means I’m not quite as eco-friendly as a committed vegan or tiny-house dweller, being mentally healthy means I’m able to reliably live a mostly harmless lifestyle.

As a writer I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with anyone else out there experiencing the same battle, and hopefully help you to live your own mostly harmless lifestyle.
