Permaculture isn’t just about learning new techniques. Its also about unlearning the mindset we were raised with. The industrial world teaches us to: - Prioritize speed over care - Chase efficiency over balance - Rely on systems instead of ourselves - Treat land as a resource instead of a living partner When you step into homesteading and permaculture, those patterns start to crack. And suddenly you realize: ❌ More is not always better ❌ Perfection is a trap ❌ Nature doesn’t move on deadlines ❌ Slowing down isn’t lazy—it’s wise ❌ Productivity ≠ value Personally, I had to unlearn the idea that “work” only counts if it’s busy, loud, or monetized. Now, when I sit with my animals, walk the land, or just observe a system doing its thing without my interference—I see that as success, not wasted time. So I want to ask you: - What’s something you’ve had to unlearn on this path? - Was it hard to let go of? - What changed for you after you did?
