I am a Consioustarian

I am a conscioustarian.

This is a made up word. Made up by me. A word I use to describe my choices, mainly around what I consume. What I eat, what I buy, what I put on my skin, and more. These thoughtful choices result in eliminating toxins and living sustainably.

So, conscious-, that is easy. Per the Oxford Dictionary:

“con·scious
/ˈkänSHəs/

adjective

having knowledge of something; aware.  “we are conscious of the extent of the problem”
painfully aware of; sensitive to.  “he was very conscious of his appearance”

And, -tarian worked well as it is often used to denote adherence to a particular philosophy or lifestyle.

Of course, I asked Chat GPT, and learned this:

“Conscioustarian” isn’t a widely recognized term (yet), but it’s a compelling word that suggests a lifestyle or philosophy centered around consciousness—whether that’s self-awareness, mindful living, ethical decision-making, or spiritual development.

It sounds like it could be a fusion of “conscious” + “vegetarian” or “humanitarian”, or even a play on being a citizen of the cosmos (“star”), living with elevated awareness.”

Holy scary power of AI! Not sure about that elevated awareness part, but otherwise, damn straight.

Being a conscioustairan is a lifestyle philosophy. I believe if even a small set of our population took on this lifestyle, it could lead to far reaching enhancements to our life together on this planet. Where we feel better. Live longer. On a healthier fresher planet. Where capitalism is again benign and productive, serving all of humanity. Save the world? Uh, well, yes, that is the objective.

I will say this. if you take this conscioustarian journey with me, you will likely find yourself feeling grounded, hopeful and living with purpose.

Stay tuned, dear ones…

With Love,

Nancy
